Pseudomeningocele

Nerve root avulsion and pseudomeningocele
        Findings:
       Abnormal high T2 signal dumbbell-shaped lesion in a high thoracic neural foramen
       Mass effect on thecal sac
       Large high T2 collection in the adjacent soft tissues
        A result of major trauma.
        Disruption of the meninges and spill of CSF into surrounding tissues

        Focal collection at the nerve root may appear as a discrete mass and displace thecal sac.
