  • Title: Computed tomography of "cystic" intramedullary lesions.
    Author: Pullicino P, Kendall BE.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1982; 23(3):117-21. PubMed ID: 7088280.
    Abstract:
    Using an EMI 5005 scanner with high resolution option, 75% of syrinxes were shown as low density cavities. Most spinal cord tumours caused isodense swellings, but 41% contained low density zones and cystic elements were demonstrated in 76% of these at surgery or by puncture of the spinal cord; a few (11%) of the isodense tumours were cystic. The differential diagnosis of low density intramedullary lesions is discussed.
