Figure 3

(a) Sagittal gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted Turbo Spin Echo Fat Sat MR image. Multiple round enhancing foci (red arrows) sticking to the posterior medulla, corresponding to diffuse leptomeningeal spread of metastases. (b) Sagittal T2 Short Time Inversion Recovery (STIR) MR image. The leptomeningeal metastases are also well depicted as hipointense nodules on the STIR sequence (yellow arrows) surrounded by the T2-hyperintense CSF.
