LUMBOSACRAL SPINE MRI 

(With contrast)

Siemens MRI ( magnetom altea 1.5 tesla )​

.Technique : Pre contrast coronal T1 fat sat  ,  post contrast Axial coronal T1 fat sat and sagittal T1

:REPORT

The lumbar spine shows a smooth lordotic curvature with normal alignment

The vertebral bodies and endplates are normal in shape  and signal intensity

The intervertebral disk spaces are normal height and signal intensity

The bony spinal canal has normal width which , neural foramina and  posterior element displays normal nature

The imaged soft tissues show no abnormalities

 The conus medullaris terminates normally at L1

Paravertebral stripe is normal in shape and signal intensity -An intrathecal mass at the lower L2 level shows intermediate T1 & heterogeneous increased T2 signal and vividly enhancement

 It displaces the cauda equina posteriorly with near complete effacement of CSF space and inseparable from the filum terminale which runs along its posterior border

. No evidence of osseous remodeling

. No mass or abnormal enhancement elsewhere within the spine

:CONCLUSION 

.Intradural extramedullary mass lesion (11x25mm) suggestive for myxopapillary ependymoma
