MR imaging accurately depicts the compartmentlike distribution of signal intensity abnormalities in patients with ITBFS.

OBJECTIVE. The objectiveof our studywas to analyzeMR imagesof vascularleiomy oma of the extremity and to compare these images with histopathologic findings to determine if a correlation exists. CONCLUSION. T2-weightedMR imagesof vascular leiomyomaof anextremityshowedamass with mixed areas that were both hyper-and isointense to skeletal muscle and also revealed a hypointense rim; these images correlate with histopathologic findings of smooth muscle, vessels, fibrous tissue, an intravascular thrombus, and a fibrous capsule.

Thoracolumbar junction, shorter distance from the treated vertebrae, and greater degree of height restoration of the cemented vertebrae may increase the fracture risk of vertebrae adjacent to cement vertebrae after vertebroplasty.
