Benefit of repetitive intrathecal triamcinolone acetonide therapy in predominantly spinal multiple sclerosis: prediction by upper spinal cord atrophy

Intrathecal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TCA) has been shown to provide substantial benefit in a subset of progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with predominant spinal symptoms. We examined whether atrophy of the upper spinal cord (USC) as measured by MRI can serve as a predictive m...
