Abstract
This chapter will discuss miscellaneous spinal disorders which have characteristic imaging findings. These include neurofibromatosis, Marfan syndrome, idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis, spontaneous intracranial hypotension, superficial siderosis caused by spinal tumor, spinal arachnoid cysts, renal osteodystrophy, and extramedullary hematopoiesis.
