Abstract

Inflammatory and autoimmune disorders of the spinal cord are a heterogeneous group of myelopathies with a diverse differential diagnosis. Due to similarities in presentation and diverse associated conditions, confusion can arise in differentiating the key myelopathies. By focusing primarily on the clinical presentation followed by differentiating pathophysiology for the disorders discussed, this chapter aims to provide a foundation for differentiation based on nuances among otherwise similar presentations in these disorders. Diagnostic algorithms and select cases will be discussed with a focus on spinal cord imaging.
