Vet Radiol Ultrasound. 1999 May-Jun;40(3):267-70. doi: 10.1111/j.1740-8261.1999.tb00360.x.

Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging was used to identify a spinal mass at the level of the 6th-7th cervical vertebral body in a cat. The MRI images were most consistent with the presence of an intradural, extramedullary meningioma that was confirmed by subsequent histological examination.
