Abstract:
We examined 22 intramedullary, 17 intradural extramedullary and 20 extradural lesions, with direct involvement of the spinal cord by magnetic resonance tomography, using surface coils and 5 mm., or narrower continuous sections. Spinecho pulse sequences are suitable for multi-slice examinations. T.1-weighted examinations are suitable for demonstrating the syrinx in syringomyelia, in all other circumstances T1 and T2 sequences are essential. Gd-DTPA is unnecessary. The results of these recommendations are illustrated.
