title: Magnetic resonance imaging of intramedullary spinal cord metastases.
abstract: In this report we describe the appearance of four intramedullary spinal cord metastases on T2-weighted and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance images. The epidemiology, clinical presentation, and the use of magnetic resonance imaging in these rare lesions are discussed.
