Figure 2

The sagittal short T1 inversion recovery (STIR) (A) and axial T2-weighted (B) magnetic resonance (MR) images 10 months after the onset of symptoms show a minor reduction of the size of the lesion and a minor increase in the signal within the nucleus pulposus of the L4–L5 disc (arrow). However, there is no surrounding edema in the bone marrow. The axial T1-weighted MR images, before (C) and after (D) contrast medium administration, show the persistent “ringlike” enhancement within the sclerotic border of the lesion.
