A Giant Lumbar Pseudomeningocele in a Patient with Neurofibromatosis Type 1: A Case Report

Figure 4

Sagittal and axial T2 weighted (a and b) and axial T1 weighted postgadolinium MRI images at six months after the third operation showed a new giant pseudomeningocele with intra-abdominal extension. The sagittal and axial T2 weighted MRI images (a and b) demonstrated dural sac and cauda roots compression (white arrows) and the inhomogeneous non-CSF like content of the pseudomeningocele (black arrow) probably due to the presence of surgical patch materials and blood products. Axial T1 weighted after gadolinium MRI picture (c) excluded pathological enhancement (white arrow).
