Examination revealed a spastic paraplegia predominant on the left limb, associated with decreased tactile sensitivity below T10. MRI showed a right posterolateral intramedullary lesion with an isosignal on T1-weighted images and a mild hypersignal on T2-weighted images, with an intense contrast enhancement; the spinal cord presented with an hypersignal on T2-weighted images.
