A, B: Postoperative axial and coronal T2-weighted magnetic resonance images showing total removal of the tumor (big arrows). The high intensity area shows adipose fat tissue filled with the tumor removal cavity. C: Postoperative three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) showing the reconstructed lamina of the Th12 (small arrows) and removed portion of the isthmus of the L1 lamina (big arrow). D: Postoperative axial CT taken 12 months after surgery showing the fused lamina of the Th12 (small arrow).

Postoperative MR images showed the complete removal of the tumor (Figs. 3A, B). Postoperative three-dimensional CT showed the reconstructed lamina of the Th12 and the removed portion of the isthmus of the L1 lamina (Fig. 3C). Axial CT performed 12 months after surgery demonstrated the fused lamina (Fig. 3D).
