摘要：
There are several non-neoplastic lesions which may mimic intramedullary spinal cord neoplasm in their radiographic and clinical presentation. These can be classified as either infectious (TB, fungal, bacterial, parasitic, syphilis, CMV, HSV) and non-infectious (sarcoid, MS, myelitis, ADEM, SLE) inflammatory lesions, idiopathic necrotizing myelopathy, unusual vascular lesions (amyloid, infarct, isolated intramedullary vascular lesions) and radiation myelopathy. Although biopsy may be indicated in many cases, the mistaken diagnosis of intramedullary neoplasm can often be eliminated pre-operatively.
