Abstract
A new sign of multiple sclerosis, the contracting cord sign, is described. The myelographic demonstration of a large cord that subsequently decreases in size may suggest multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis must be considered in the differential diagnosis of an enlarged spinal cord. Distinguishing between the collapsing cord and the contracting cord is discussed.Entities:
