When there is insufficient blood supply secondary to thrombosis/embolism, or spinal cord compression, this can cause softening of the spinal cord or what is called myelomalacia.
Treatment would depend on the severity of symptoms. If the lesion causing the spinal cord injury is identified and the symptoms are severe, surgery can be indicated..
Are this your MRI findings? Do you experience any symptoms? You should consult a neurologist to properly evaluate your condition and see what can be done.
Good luck.
