Figure 4.
An 8-month-old boy with Stage III neuroblastoma who presented with diarrhoea for 5 days and was treated for gastroenteritis. Subsequently, he was found, by the mother, to have deterioration in standing power. (a) Axial T2 weighted MRI shows compression of the cord by a left paravertebral tumour (T) with intraspinal extension via the neural foramina (white arrow). (b) Follow-up coronal T2 weighted MRI reveals residual small left paravertebral tumour after completed treatment (white arrow). There is a short segment of myelomalacia (black arrow) at the distal cord. The patient suffers from a persistent neurological deficit.
