It is often difficult to distinguish between a patient with an idiopathic form of transverse<unk>  and one who has an underlying condition, physicians must first eliminate potentially treatable causes of the condition. when a spinal cord problem is suspected, physicians seek first to rule out structural lesions (damaged or abnormally functioning areas) that could cause spinal cord compression or otherwise affects its function. Such potential lesions include tumors, herniated or slipped discs, stenosis (narrowing of the canal that holds the spinal cord), abscesses, and abnormal collections of blood vessels. To rule out such lesions and check for inflammation of the spinal cord, patients often undergo magnetic resonance imaging <unk> , a procedure that provides a picture of the brain and spinal cord. The spinal cord<unk>  will almost always confirm the presence of a lesion within the spinal cord, whereas the brain<unk>  may provide clues to other underlying causes, especially MS.
