Abstract
Intracranial and intraspinal ependymomas are uncommon tumors of the ce ntral nervous system. These tumors have a variety of imaging character istics, some of which are fairly specific for ependymoma. We discuss t he MRI features of ependymomas for each df the typical locations withi n the neuraxis, and provide MR imaging examples.
