Fig 1. — Localization of spinal cord schistosomiasis. MR imaging of dorso-lumbar spine of case 3.

A, Sagittal T1-weighted SE (TR/TE 530/20 ms) image shows moderate expansion of the distal cord and conus medullaris (arrow). The lesion is isointense to the cord.

B, Sagittal T2-weighted SE (TR/TE 5800/95 ms) image. The lesion has heterogeneous hyperintense signal intensity (arrow).

C, Coronal T1-weighted SE MR images (TR/TE 520/20 ms) shows the expanded distal cord and conus medullaris (arrow).

D, Postcontrast coronal image, in which the lesion is well delineated by contrast enhancement (arrow). Note the associated linear enhancement of cauda equina nerve roots (arrowhead).
