  • Title: Giant vertebral notochordal rest: magnetic resonance and diffusion weighted imaging findings.
    Author: Oner AY, Akpek S, Tali T, Ucar M.
    Journal: Korean J Radiol; 2009; 10(3):303-6. PubMed ID: 19412519.
    Abstract:
    A giant vertebral notochordal rest is a newly described, benign entity that is easily confused with a vertebral chordoma. As microscopic notochordal rests are rarely found in adult autopsies, the finding of a macroscopic vertebral lesion is a new entity with only seven previously presented cases. We report here radiological findings, including diffusion weighted images, of a patient with a giant notochordal remnant confined to the L5 vertebra, with an emphasis on its distinction from a chordoma.
