Cord compression detected by MRI. This is an example of rapid resolution of extensive spinal cord compression as a result of combination chemotherapy with DT PACE⁴⁷  (dexamethasone 40 mg daily × 4, thalidomide 400 mg daily × 4, 4-day continuous intravenous infusions of cisplatin 10 mg/m²/d, Adriamycin 10 mg/m²/d, cyclophosphamide 400 mg/m²/d, and etoposide 40 mg/m²/d). Epidural disease from multiple myeloma responding to treatment: post-gadolinium T1-weighted MRI before (left) and after (right) treatment of epidural disease (arrows). Only a thin “stripe” of enhancing tissue remains after treatment.
