On the initial radiological findings after development of paraplegia at 18-month follow-up (a), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed swelling, extensive edema (red arrows), and contrast enhancement (blue arrows) of whole thoracic cord including previous tumor surgical lesion on T2-4. However, there is no evidence of recurrence or new lesion on whole-body 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography. On the 2-week follow-up MRI, there was significant reduction of edema and contrast enhancement in thoracic cord (red and blue arrows) (b), which was almost disappeared on the 5-week follow-up MRI (c)
