Subacute combined degeneration is uncommonly a result of nitrous oxide abuse and presents with high signal in the dorsal columns of the spinal cord on T2-weighted MR imaging. We present a case of subacute combined degeneration in a young patient who abused nitrous oxide, which is an uncommon cause and infrequently seen in this patient population. Symptoms are often reversible with treatment of vitamin B12, and radiologists should be aware of these findings to avoid delay in treatment.

Reversible Condition

Subacute combined degeneration (SCD) is a rare neurological complication of vitamin B12 deficiency, characterized by demyelination of the dorsal and lateral spinal cord. Herein, we describe three cases, who presented with SCD, one related to reduced intake of vitamin B12 because of a vegetarian diet and two related to nitrous oxide exposure during surgery. MR images of our patients revealed symmetrical hyperintense signals in dorsal and lateral columns in T2 weighted series. After treatment with intramuscular B12 injections (1 mg daily for 2 weeks, once weekly thereafter for three months) all patients showed improvement of their symptoms. Abnormalities of the spinal cord on MRI resolved in three months. In conclusion, SCD either due to nitrous oxide exposure or due to reduced intake of vitamin B12 is a reversible condition, when detected and treated early.
