Spinal neuropathic arthropathy

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Spinal neuropathic arthropathy, sometimes called "Charcot spine," describes a process characterized by destructive lesions within the spine, which may also affect the adjacent disc space, surrounding vertebra, and facet joints. PET/MR imaging can help diagnose spinal neuropathy and its associated findings while excluding more serious entities.
