Sagittal T1 without contrast (above left), T2 (above middle) and T1 with contrast (above right) MRI of the thoracic spine shows a long extradural mass that is compressing the spinal cord and which enhances heterogeneously. Axial T2 (below left) shows bright signal intensity in the paraspinal tissues representing myositis which on T1 with contrast (below right) enhances heterogenously. The spinal cord compression from the extradural mass is also well seen on the axial images.
