Fig. 5

Case 3 from Table 1: 16-year-old boy with progressive paraesthesia and gait disturbance and a sensory level at T8. Sagittal (a) and axial (b) post-contrast T1-weighted sequences show abnormal high signal in the posterior two-thirds of the T6 vertebral body, extending into the posterior elements, including the pedicles, lamina and spinous process (arrowhead). There is an associated enhancing extradural mass posterior to the spinal cord extending from T5 to T7 (asterisk). The cord is displaced anteriorly. There is subtly increased signal intensity within the cord on the sagittal T2-weighted sequence (c) at the level of T6. Selective angiography of left T6 lumbar artery shows enhancement of the T6 vertebra and associated soft tissue mass (d). Haematoxylin and eosin stain of excised extradural spinal mass (e) confirms a haemangioma
