الوصف: | Previous reports have identified a small, benign, high-signal lesion (HSL) posterior to the intracranial vertebral artery and associated with the ipsilateral spinal accessory nerve (SAN) using 3D fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (3D FLAIR) imaging as an emerging new entity. To elucidate the relationship between HSLs and SAN, 76 patients with 86 HSLs were evaluated using 3D FLAIR and 3D balanced fast-field echo (3D bFFE imaging). All HSLs showed contact with ipsilateral SAN on both the sequences. 3D bFFE imaging clearly distinguished between the two structures unlike 3D FLAIR. Moreover, SAN was surrounded by HSLs on 3D bFFE images, which may be a characteristic of this entity. |
