Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 47561
  • Image ID: 24695903
  • Image stack position: 4/14
  • Plane projection: Sagittal
  • Aux modality: T2 fat sat
  • Study findings: A right C4 vertebral body mass with avid homogeneous enhancement and vividly high T2 signal. Posteriorly, the extraosseous portion of the mass indents the thecal sac and slightly flattens the right ventral spinal cord, without abnormal cord signal. There is complete obliteration of the right C3/4 andC4/5 intervertebral foramen. Near complete encasement of the right vertebral artery at the level of the C4 transverse foramen, with normal flow void maintained in the vessel, displaced anterolaterally.
  • Modality: MRI
  • System: Spine
  • Findings: There is a large destructive tumor centered on the right side of the C4 vertebral body, and extending into the right C4 lateral mass, pedicle and lamina. It protrudes into the spinal canal at this level although there is no obvious impingement on the spinal cord within the limits of this CT. There is very slight erosion of the right posterior corner of the adjacent C3 inferior endplate and the right posterior corner of the adjacent C5 superior endplate. CONCLUSION: MRI is recommended for further evaluation of the extent of the mass, better evaluation of the spinal cord.
