Myxopapillary ependymoma - spine
MRI features of intradural extramedullary mass at T12-L1 level compressing and displacing the adjacent segment of the spinal cord with no dural tail sign or extension through the adjacent foramina suggestive of myxopapillary ependymoma.
The main differential diagnosis includes:
- meningioma: dural tail sign, ginkgo leaf sign, homogeneous contrast enhancement
- nerve sheath tumor: nerve root involvement, extradural neural foraminal extension with dumbbell appearance
- paraganglioma: cap sign, cauda equina region with prominent flow voids
