Background: Hirayama disease (HD) is a rare benign type of cervical cord myelopathy occurring commonly in young males as unilateral or bilateral asymmetrical amyotrophy of the hand and forearm muscles in C8-T1 distribution. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the best technique for the evaluation and imaging of this entity.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective review of cervical magnetic resonance images of patients that were taken for clinically suspected and diagnosed HD on 3T MRI in postcontrast neutral and flexion (30°-40°) positions from July 2019 to January 2024 at Shri Ram Murti Smarak Institute of Medical Sciences, Bareilly.
