Intraspinal Dermoid
Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2010, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
mass lesion involving thoracolumbar spinal cord. It was heterogeneously hyperintense on both T1W and T2W sequences of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with signal suppression on fatsaturated images. Plain computerised tomography (CT) scan of the spine confirmed the presence of fat and calcification within the lesion, thus leading to the diagnosis of an intraspinal dermoid.
