Spine MRI findings in patients with leptomeningeal metastases
Post-contrast MR imaging through the cervical (A, B) spine showing abnormal thick and nodular leptomeningeal enhancement (arrows) coating the spinal cord, consistent with widespread leptomeningeal metastases. Images C and D demonstrate characteristic nodular enhancement within the cauda equina.
MRI: magnetic resonance imaging.
