Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 58344
  • Image ID: 35924411
  • Image stack position: 47/84
  • Plane projection: Axial
  • Aux modality: bone window
  • Modality: CT
  • System: Spine
  • Findings: There is a large solid intraspinal and extraspinal mass centered at the left C4/C5 foramen also extending in the left C5/C6 foramen. It extends cephalocaudally from C2 to C6. It causes marked rightward displacement of the cervical cord as it extends within the spinal canal and occupies more than 50% of the surface. There is scalloping of the adjacent bone, suggesting a longstanding mass. There are peripheral calcifications in its anterior aspect, most likely due to bone remodeling (transverse foramen) that actual tumoral calcifications. There is loss of the normal cervical lordosis with scalloping of posterior vertebral bodies below the tumor mass, suggesting the possibility of dural ectasia.
