Abstract

Intraspinal medullary metastases are difficult to demonstrate radiographically. We describe the value of gadolinium-DTPA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of intraspinaI medullary metastases. This safe, sensitive procedure should be a requisite study in myelogram-negative patients with symptomatology indicative of a cord lesion.
