Description
Intraspinal cystic lumbar nerve sheath tumours constitute an uncommon subset of tumours with distinct clinicobiological behaviour. The MRI findings in five such cases are presented. Four of these were cystic schwannomas and one was a cystic neurofibroma. The pathology, MRI findings and the differential diagnosis of these rare tumours are analysed.
