Fig. 6From: Advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques of the spine and spinal cord in children and adultsPatient with multiple myeloma and several vertebral fractures, treated by vertebroplasty. No enlargement or enhancement of the conus medullaris is visible (a). Spine MR performed approximately 7 months later shows hyperintensity and nodular enhancement of the conus medullaris (b,c,f,g). On tractography (d,e), destruction of the fibers of the conus medullaris can be seen; this translates into a secondary lesion with rapid growthBack to article page
