Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 37874
  • Image ID: 14013895
  • Image stack position: 12/14
  • Plane projection: Sagittal
  • Aux modality: T2
  • Study description: MRI whole spine
  • Study findings: Widened cervical and thoracic spinal canal. Enlarged bilateral C5-C8 dorsal root ganglia, consistent with neurofibromata. Normal cervical and thoracic cord, and conus. Marked widening of lumbar canal, with vertebral scalloping and dilatation of the cul-de-sac to the second sacral segment. The sacral posterior elements are present but deformed. Appearances of dural ectasia. The lumbar nerve root ganglia are again enlarged (neurofibromata), particularly left S1 measuring approximately 3 cm. Bladder wall thickening.
  • Modality: MRI
  • System: Central Nervous System
  • Findings: Bulky optic chiasm, extending into the intracranial optic nerves, in keeping with an optic pathway glioma. These extend to the superior orbital foramina. Normal pituitary fossa and infundibulum. Normal brainstem. White matter hyperintensity in right centrum semiovale (maybe a FASI or related to small vessel change). Otherwise normal intra-axial signal.
