case_images: Magnetic resonance images (MRI) of pre-operation. (A-C) Preoperative sagittal MRI showed a sizeable IDEM tumor (red arrow) at the T10 level with an intact envelope and clear borders. (D and E) Preoperative axial MRI showed that the IDEM tumor significantly compressed the thoracic spinal cord to the right side, with 80% intraspinal encroachment. The red and yellow lines represent the axial planes in (C).

case_images: T10 level with an intact envelope and well-defined borders, significantly compressing the thoracic spinal cord to the right side, with 80% intraspinal encroachment (Figure 1). The tumor showed hypo-intensity on the T1 and T2-weighted images and obvious homogenous enhancement on the T1 fat suppression contrast-enhanced image.
