Figure 6

Magnetic resonance imaging on short tau inversion recovery (a), T2-weighted (b, d), and T1-weighted (c) at 1 year after surgery. The epidural lipoma was completely resected while the dural canal and nerve roots were decompressed. The endplate degeneration finding at the L4/5 level was improved.
