[Spinal extradural meningiomas: MRI findings in two cases].
Spinal extradural meningiomas are rare and may be easily confused with malignant neoplasms. We report two unusual cases of epidural spinal meningioma one within the left C6-C7 foramen and the other within the left posterolateral epidural space at the T3-T4 level. Low signal intensity of the tumor on T2-wi, thickening and enhancement of the dura with only the possibility of bone erosion are the most characteristic MR findings.
