Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia as a rare cause of cervicothoracic spinal cord compression: A case report

Figure 1 Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging. A and D: Sagittal T2-weighted imaging (T2WI); B: Sagittal T1-weighted imaging (T1WI); C: Sagittal T1WI of the spine with contrast; E: Axial T2WI; F: Axial T1WI with contrast. A posterior spinal epidural mass located from C6 to T1 (thin arrow) appeared high signal intensity on T2WI sagittal and axial images, and low signal intensity on T1WI images. A gadolinium-enhanced scan reveals inhomogeneous enhancement. And a 0.5 cm × 0.5 cm × 0.6 cm-sized round tumor (thick arrow) can be seen on the left side of the C7 vertebral body; high signal intensity is observed on T2WI and homogeneous enhancement is detected on T1WI after contrast agent administration.
