Abstract
Intravascular lymphomatosis (IVL) is a rare subtype of large B-cell lymphoma that follows an aggressive course with rapidly progressive neurological involvement and potentially fatal outcome.1 We report on a 64-year-old man with progressive myelopathy at T6-T7 and recurrent cerebral infarctions. This case is illustrative of the clinical course that is seen in IVL. It aims to present a timeline of imaging findings that demonstrate the progression of disease and characteristic pathology findings. We emphasize the importance of IVL on the differential diagnosis of spinal cord infarction.
