2nd magnetic resonance images (MRI) showing left posterior mass at the same area of the 1st MRI. (a) Sagittal T1-weighted axial MRI reveals that there was a newly isointense mass present within the anterior part of the previously identified lesion. (b) Sagittal T2-weighted axial MRI reveals that the intensity inside the mass was a little extended. (c, d) T1-weighted axial MRI at L4/5 reveals the well-defined extradural mass in the left posterior aspect of the thecal sac. (c) There was no significant enhancement with Gd-based contrast (d).
