title: Primary lymphoma of the cauda equina: myelographic, CT myelographic, and MR appearance.
abstract: This case demonstrates the myelographic, CT myelographic, and MR appearance of primary lymphoma of the cauda equina. It also illustrates the utility of high-resolution CT myelography in certain lesions of the cauda equina. The authors feel that CT myelography, with its inherent ability to depict individual nerve roots and therefore any pathologic involvement as well, should be considered an adjunct to MR in imaging the cauda equina.
