摘要
Intracranial and intraspinal ependymomas are uncommon tumors of the central nervous system. These tumors have a variety of imaging characteristics, some of which are fairly specific for ependymoma. We discuss the MRI features of ependymomas for each df the typical locations within the neuraxis, and provide MR imaging examples.
