Semin Ultrasound CT MR. 1994;15(3):250-254. Review/OtherDx N/A A clinical review of myelopathy. General examination may point to systemic disease associated with myelopathy. Neurological examination excludes cerebral disease. Motor and sensory examination may define the level of the lesion. Physical examination localizes not only the level of the spinal cord lesion but the anatomic distribution of the lesion within a given level. When tumor or paraspinal infections are diagnostic possibilities, emergent imaging of the spine is required. 4
