Sagittal CT without contrast of the spine (far left) shows a marked compression deformity of the T7 vertebral body which is almost flat in appearance. Sagittal T2 MRI of the spine (near left) shows again loss of height in the T7 vertebral body with the T6-T7 and T7-T8 intervertebral disks in close approximation to each other. There is evidence of a high signal intensity soft tissue mass anterior and posterior to the T7 vertebral body. Sagital T1 MRI of the spine without (near right) and with contrast (far right) show enhancement of this soft tissue mass anterior and posterior to T7 which has an extradural component which is compressing the spinal cord at this level.
