Note:—A indicates cystlike mass with T1 hyperintensity; B, cystlike mass with T1 isointensity; C, solid hypervascular mass; D, epidural hematoma; Epidural, location of masses either anterior (Ant) or posterior (Post) epidural space; Level, craniocaudal extension described as the number of vertebrae where mass was present; CC, chief complaint.
