我们报告一例临床确诊的肌萎缩侧索硬化症（ALS），伴腰神经根适度钆增强，无增厚或结节化，CSF蛋白升高（80 mg/dl）。这些发现不应排除ALS的临床诊断，并表明神经根的增强和蛋白质升高与快速神经元变性有关，而不是炎症。
We present a single case of clinically definite amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) associated with modest gadolinium enhancement of the lumbar nerve roots without thickening or nodularity and with CSF protein elevation (80 mg/dl). These findings should not exclude a clinical diagnosis of ALS and suggest that the enhancement of nerve roots and protein elevation were related to rapid neuronal degeneration, not inflammation.
