Myxopapillary ependymoma is comparatively uncommon lesion of spinal canal with relatively characteristic location and MR imaging features. These lesions are a unique subtype of glioma that develops in the area of the filum terminale and conus medullaris, was first reported by Kernohan in 1932. Despite being slow-growing and generally benign, MPE has a propensity for local recurrence and can spread across the central nervous system. Atypical imaging features of the lesions may include long segment involvement, T1 hyperintensity etc. We are going to present one such atypical imaging presentation of myxopapillary ependymoma
