+====Fibrocartilaginous Embolism (FCE)====
+FCE is like a 'stroke' in the spinal cord; a small piece of IVD embolizes into a small spinal artery and occludes blood flow leading to ischemia or infarction in the spinal cord.
+Notable Features:
+  * Sharply Demarcated
+  * Grey matter affected
+  * Can be linear
+  * Possible hemorrhage
+  * Swelling of the spinal cord
+  * Possible gad enhancement
+  * T2/STIR hyperintensity
+Useful Sequences:
+  * T2 or STIR
+  * T1 Post Gad
+  * T2* if hemorrhage
+  * DWI if specialized sequences are available

+====Neoplasia====
+Neoplasia can occur anywhere in the body, and the spine is no exception. When there is neoplasia in the spine, it is important to try and discern the location of the tumor:
+  * Intramedullary; within the spinal cord
+  * Intradural Extramedullary; originating from the dura surrounding the spinal cord
+  * Extradural; originating from outside the spinal cord and it's dura
