A 54 –year-old man presented to the neurosurgery clinic with neck pain and motor weakness in the
7
his right arm. The symptoms were initially thought to indicate a herniated cervical dics. Magnetic
8
resonance imaging(MRI) revealed an intramedullary mass in the cervical region that was causing cord -
9
expansion (Figure 1-2). The lesions were hyperintense on T2-weighted (T2W) and hypointense on T1-
10
weighted (T1W) images (figure1). After injection of a contrast agent, MRI showed a heterogenous
11
enhancement in the masses (Figure2). Pathologıc specimens obtained at surgery showed pilocytic
12
astrocytoma.
