    Spinal cord and paraspinal mass lesions can be identified radiologically, allowing for the planning of treatment processes.Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the most important non-invasive radiological method for identifying spinal lesions . Apart from its lack of ionizing radiation, MRI is used for diagnosing lesions affecting the spinal cord due to its high soft tissue resolution . Moreover, preoperative imaging of the brain and spine is mandatory to exclude cerebrospinal fluid displacing masses. Lesions within the spinal cord typically demonstrate contrast enhancement. Detection of malignant cysts within the lesion is crucial for surgery. Peripheral enhancement necessitates resection. A comprehensive spinal MRI should include contrast-enhanced brain MRI to exclude metastatic lesions in cases of lesion detection. Spinal lesions can be metastatic lesions of intracranial neoplasms.
