    Snippet: Thirty-six patients were included. The anatomical site was C4-C5 in 88%, C3-C4 in 12% of cases. On MRI, lesions had signal intensity similar to the CSF in both T1-W and T2-W sequences. The distribution was central in all cases. The thickness of the corresponding discs was slightly reduced in 75% of cases. Signal intensity of the nucleus pulposus was normal in 82% of cases, and slightly reduced in T2-W sequences in 18%. Spinal cord compression ran.....
    Document: Thirty-six patients were included. The anatomical site was C4-C5 in 88%, C3-C4 in 12% of cases. On MRI, lesions had signal intensity similar to the CSF in both T1-W and T2-W sequences. The distribution was central in all cases. The thickness of the corresponding discs was slightly reduced in 75% of cases. Signal intensity of the nucleus pulposus was normal in 82% of cases, and slightly reduced in T2-W sequences in 18%. Spinal cord compression ranged from 13.5% to 57.2%. At surgery the material was found to be intraligamentous and of liquid consistence with a gelatinous component in 42% of cases, plain liquid in 33%, liquid with frustules in 25%. Cytological examination allowed to exclude the presence of inflammation, bacteria, mycosis, neoplasia or foreign material.
