T1 to L1 vertebrae, slightly lateralized to the right, compressing the spinal cord at the thoracic level as well as the conus medullaris (Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5). The MRI also showed a peritoneal effusion on the abdominal slices.

T1 to L1 vertebrae, slightly lateralized to the right, compressing the spinal cord at the thoracic level as well as the conus medullaris (Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5). The MRI also showed a peritoneal effusion on the abdominal slices.
medullary MRI in T2 weighted sequence axial plane; medullary MRI axial plane showing the well circumscribed epidural lesion in heterogenous hypersignal T2 slightly deviated to the right, this image is highly evocative of an acute spinal epidural hematoma
