Cavernous malformation of the spinal cord on MRI

Cavernous malformation of the spinal cord on MRI

(A) Sagittal T2-weighted MRI sequence shows target-like lesion (thick arrow) with hypointense core consistent with CM. Note both rostral and caudal ill-defined T2-hypointense acute hemorrhage (arrows), as well as more rostral cord edema (bracket).

(B) Magnified pre-contrast sagittal T1-weighted sequence shows hyperdensity consistent with hemorrhage (thick arrow).

(C) Magnified sagittal and (D) axial post-contrast T1-weighted MRI sequences show mild contrast enhancement of CM (thick arrows).
MRI: magnetic resonance imaging; CM: cavernous malformation.
