[Abstract] Myelitis is inflammation of the spinal cord which can disrupt the normal movement, sensory and autonomic nerve, the dysfunction syndrome often cause different degree of disability for patients, mainly includes the disease-related myelitis and idiopathic transverse myelitis. Multiple sclerosis (MS) myelitis is difficult to diagnose in clinic, but with the rapid development of the neural function imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an important means for MS myelitis diagnosis. This paper aims to summarize study overview of the MRI research progress in MS myelitis.
