Figure 2
((a)–(d)) On T2-weighted fat saturated MRI, the fluid collections appear as discrete areas of homogeneous hyperintensity extending from the abdominal cavity to the mediastinum. (e) On T2-weighted fat saturated MRI, the fluid collections are slightly isointense, finding suggestive for proteinaceous or necrotic contents. (f) Coronal T2-weighted MRI image shows the fluid collections extending upward as a long vertical cystic lesion from the retroperitoneum to the mediastinum through the esophageal hiatus.
