Spinal MRI images demonstration in MPS IVa patients. A MPS type IVa in a 14-year-old girl (subtype 1). Sagittal T2-weighted FSE MRI of the spine shows spinal canal narrowing around bony level of T2 (solid arrow) corresponding to CT manifestation of cervicothoracic kyphosis in addition to common spinal stenosis site around cervicomedullary junction (arrow). B MPS type IVa in a 5-year-old girl (subtype 2). T2-weighted FSE MRI of the spine in sagittal plane shows narrowing of the spinal canal more significant around bony level of T5 (solid arrow) related to CT reveals middle thoracic kyphosis. Atlantoaxial instability with mild cord myelopathy around cervicomedullary junction is also evident (arrow)
