Abstract
The MR imaging features of a paraganglioma of the cauda equina with as sociated spinal cord cysts are presented, MR imaging showed the tumor to be isointense with the spinal cord on all pulse sequences and to en hance homogeneously. The intramedullary cysts had increased signal int ensity on proton density-and T2-weighted images, and involved the cerv ical and thoracic regions.
