On examination, bulk was normal, hypertonia was there in both lower limbs, power was 0/5 at hip, knee and ankle, deep tendon reflexes were brisk with patellar and ankle clonus present. Babinsky was present bilaterally and there was a loss of fine touch, crude touch, pain and temperature sensation below D12 level.Magnetic resonance image showed well defined cystic lesion of size 10mm × 8mm, present at D11-D12 level, appearing hypointense on T1W1 and hyperintense on T2W1 [ Figures 1 and 2]. Contrast study revealed smooth peripheral enhancement and perilesional edema from D8 to D12 level. During the surgery, D11-D12 laminectomy was done and dura opened in the midline. Adhesions were found between dura and cord. Midline dorsal myelotomy was done. An intramedullary, greyish white, partly cystic mass found, which was soft to firm in consistency, moderately vascular, nonsuckable and densely adhered to cord parenchyma.
