Radiation-Induced Myelopathy and Vertebral Necrosis

[en] Radiation-induced myelopathy is often a diagnosis of exclusion. In addition to the classic criteria needed to support the diagnosis, the presence of another radiation-induced lesion, such as aseptic vertebral necrosis, is useful to confirm the cause of the spinal cord lesion.
