  • Title: Fatty filum terminale: assessment with MR imaging.
    Author: Okumura R, Minami S, Asato R, Konishi J.
    Journal: J Comput Assist Tomogr; 1990; 14(4):571-3. PubMed ID: 2196292.
    Abstract:
    Five cases of fatty filum terminale were encountered in a retrospective analysis of 332 routine lumbosacral magnetic resonance studies. The T1-weighted and GRASS images were particularly useful in evaluating the filum. An irregularly thickened fatty filum, especially if associated with a low conus, is likely to be pathologic and responsible for a patient's symptoms and signs.
