Fig 1.

Images in a 53-year-old woman with a 3-year history of progressive, burning pain; numbness; and subsequent weakness in her lower extremity. She had bladder incontinence in the last year. Left, Sagittal fast spin-echo image shows increased T2 signal intensity and mild swelling involving the lower cord and conus. Flow voids are present over the dorsal surface of the cord. Middle and right, Sagittal T1-weighted images without (middle) and with (right) gadolinium enhancement show patchy enhancement of the lower cord and conus. It is difficult to appreciate the prominent coronal venous plexus on the enhanced image.
