title: MR imaging of spinal pachymeningitis.
abstract: We report a case with pathologic correlation that demonstrates the magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of spinal pachymeningitis. Contrast enhanced T1-weighted images clearly demonstrated the thickened contrast enhancing meninges in a patient with progressive radiculomyelopathy who had both clinical and imaging evidence of progression of disease.
