Spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging demonstrates sensory neuronal involvement and clinical severity in neuronopathy associated with Sjögren's syndrome.
To determine spinal cord MRI findings in neuronopathy associated with Sjögren's syndrome and their correlation with severity of sensory impairment. ⋯ High intensity areas on T2* weighted MRI in the spinal dorsal columns reflect the degree of sensory neuronal involvement in neuronopathy associated with Sjögren's syndrome; this finding could also be a helpful marker for estimating severity of this neuronopathy.
