Figure 9. Sagittal T2W spin echo MRI in a patient who suffered a burst fracture of T11. The spine has been reconstructed with T11 vertebrectomy and replacement by a titanium cage/plate construct. The syrinx expands the cord, extending caudally into the conus. Regions of flow void are identified, indicating the presence of a high-pressure syrinx.
