Abstract

We present a case of leptomeningeal metastatic disease to the cauda equina detected on Magnetic Resonance myelography. The heavy T2-weighting and small field-of-view of this MRI technique are designed to detect CSF leaks, but also provide exquisite detail of the cauda equina and any associated nodularity. Magnetic Resonance myelography thus shows promise as an adjunct to the MRI evaluation of patients with suspected leptomeningeal metastatic disease and other tumours affecting the cauda equina.

摘要

我们呈现了一例在磁共振脊髓造影中检测到的马尾脑脊膜转移疾病。这种 MRI 技术的重 T2 加权和小视野设计用于检测 CSF 漏，但也提供了马尾和任何相关结节的精细细节。因此，磁共振脊髓造影有望成为疑似脑脊膜转移疾病和其他影响马尾的肿瘤患者 MRI 评估的辅助手段。
