Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain and spinal cord showed a holocord multiseptate syrinx extending from medulla to filum terminale [Figure 2A]. An enhancing intramedullary lesion was observed in the conus medullaris region (L1-L2) [Figure 2B] along with a lipoma at filum terminale [Figure 2C].
