Abstract
We present a case of myelitis in a 63-year-old woman with breast adenocarcinoma treated with pembrolizumab. MRI showed multiple T2-hyperintense lesions throughout the spinal cord, and CSF demonstrated lymphocytic pleocytosis. We discuss the differential diagnosis of myelitis in the setting of cancer and immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Neurology Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation is an official journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Neurology: Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation will be the premier peer-reviewed journal in neuroimmunology and neuroinflammation. This journal publishes rigorously peer-reviewed open-access reports of original research and in-depth reviews of topics in neuroimmunology & neuroinflammation, affecting the full range of neurologic diseases including (but not limited to) Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, ALS, tauopathy, and stroke; multiple sclerosis and NMO; inflammatory peripheral nerve and muscle disease, Guillain-Barré and myasthenia gravis; nervous system infection; paraneoplastic syndromes, noninfectious encephalitides and other antibody-mediated disorders; and psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. Clinical trials, instructive case reports, and small case series will also be featured.
