Figure 3. MRI spine: intraspinal epidural extramedullary masses T2 (lowered border) to T9 (arrows in A and B). Anterior displacement and compression of the cord in the thoracic spine is secondary to the compression by the EMH (arrow in C at T7 level) reaching upto the left neural foramen (arrow in D at T10 level).

Figure 4. MRI spine: (A) Sagittal T2 WI showing a diffuse low-signal intensity of the bone marrow of a well-defined isointense mass (5.3 × 3 cm) in the presacral region (blue arrow). A second mass (2 × 1 cm) in anterior extradural space posterior to S1 level (Blue arrow). (B) Mass enhancement seen in the axial postcontrast fat-saturated image at the presacral area (Blue arrow). (C) Axial postcontrast fat-saturated image at S1 level showing anterior extradural mass with slightly high signal intensity (blue arrow) at the midline, with displacement of the S1 nerve roots laterally.
