My husband had a severe c5/6 compression Jan 2013 and it was immediately addressed with fusion. New MRI &radiologist reports interval development of a small 3 mm focus of hyperintense T2 signal in cervical cord to the right compatible with myelomalacia. Our question is last July2013 MRI did not show this.. Why does it now appear ? Is it reversible ..can it be halted ..what is usual prognosis? He is a 56 male otherwise excellent health. Thank you for any insight you can share, Ellen
It can be missed due to scan positioning it is irreversible, but surgical option can be done to slow progress or even halt it I suggest finding a perfect orthopedic surgeon for this procedure Good Luck
