ABSTRACT
An association between syringomyelia and spinal syphilis was described in the early literature but has not been the subject of reports subsequently. We give details of a contemporary case, affirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. The patient showed significant clinical recovery following penicillin treatment, while the imaging appearances became less pronounced.

ABSTRACT
Focal spinal cord lesions have been present in all previously reported cases of MRI appearances in myelopathy complicating vitamin B12 deficiency. We describe two further cases showing mild atrophy only and review the salient features of the previous 11 publications. MRI findings reflect quite closely the known pathological changes in this condition.
