case_images: Preoperative and postoperative thoracic MRI. (A) Sagittal T2-weighted imaging showed spinal canal stenosis at the L3/4. (B) Three months after the operation, the sagittal view of the lumbar spine MRI showed satisfactory decompression at L3/4. (C) Axial t2-weighted imaging showing hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum at the L3/4 level, causing spinal stenosis. (D) Three months after the operation, the lumbar spine MRI axial view showed satisfactory decompression at L3/4.
