Figure 2. First pre-surgical MRI. Preoperative cranial MRI (A, B) for patientsrevealed bilateral optic nerve edema. Spinal MRI (C–E) showing an intradural occupying lesion(indicated by a white arrow) at the L3-L4 level, measuring approximately 18×12×29 mm, closely associated with the cauda equina. In Figure A and B, T2WI high signal seen in bilateral optic nerves. Figure C and D display T2-weighted sagittal and axial MRI views of the lumbar spine obtained without the use of intravenous contrast. Figure E presents a T1-weighted sagittal MRI FS Dixon sequence of the lumbar spine following intravenous contrast administration. Figure F illustrates a coronal view of the vertebrae.
