Findings
was changed:
AMRI shows the presence of a well defined-defined intradural extramedullary cystic lesion in the lumbar region of the spinal canal which. The lesion is hyperintense on T2 weighted &and STIR sequences, hypointense on T1 weighted images &, and shows post contrast-contrast enhancement of the wall. The hyperintense signal is suppressed on FLAIR &and the lesion shows restricted diffusion. Features are suggestive of an epidermoid cyst in the lumbar spinal canal.
The lesion is compressingcompresses the cauda equina &and conus medullaris towards the left side without any evidence of abnormal signal intensity in the conus medullaris.
Also, notethere is made of Tarlov cysts at S2-3 levels &and fatty infiltration of filum terminale.
