Isointense mass in T1-weighted image attached to the cord causing tethered cord. Notice the hypointense signal inside the expanded cord compatible with infected dermoid tumor found during surgery

The cord was dilated from the level of tethering to L1level with a lesion, which was isointense to hypointense in T1- and hyperintense in T2-weighted images, dissimilar to the intensity of cerebrospinal fluid [Figures 1 and 2].
Hypointense mass in T2-weighted image is extending from distal cord through the bone defect to the extraspinal canal space and the prior MMC surgery field
