Spinal cord oedema is a swelling of the spinal cord tissue that can happen in response to compression, injury, or inflammation. It can develop gradually and cause worsening neurological symptoms. An MRI may show signal changes in the spinal cord consistent with swelling. Finding spinal cord oedema early may allow for investigation into the underlying cause and treatment before permanent cord damage occurs.
