  1. Is there no DDx? I assume it was not biopsied. Notochordal remnants are not all that common in the upper lumbar spine. Could be, but how about something like fibrous dysplasia (also not common in the vertebral bodies, but could have similar imaging appearance and minimal enhancement).

  3. I can comment on my own comment.
    Are the people who had previously commented automatically notified about new comments?

    1. Nope :(

      In fact I'm inclined to offer a beer to anyone that actually notices any new comment in an existing thread without purposely searching for it ;)
