Figure 1a

MRI Without Contrast Axial.

Note. T2-weighted MRI without contrast showing displacement of nerve roots to the periphery of the thecal sac at the levels of L4–S1, known as ‘empty thecal sac sign,’ and is indicative of adhesive arachnoiditis.

Figure 1b

MRI Without Contrast Sagittal.

Note. T2-weighted MRI without contrast showing displacement of nerve roots to the periphery of the thecal sac at the levels of L4–S1, known as ‘empty thecal sac sign,’ and is indicative of adhesive arachnoiditis.

Figure 2a

CT Without Contrast Axial.

Note. CT without contrast demonstrates calcifications along the dura and thecal sac extending from L3 into the sacrum.
