Olivier Hauger1, Anne Cotten2, Jean-François Chateil1, Olivier Borg3, Maryse Moinard1 and François Diard1

1 Service de Radiologie A, Groupe Hospitalier Pellegrin, CHRU Bordeaux, Place Amélie Raba Léon, 33076 Bordeaux Cedex, France.
2 Service de Radiologie, Hôpital B, CHRU Lille, Blvd. de Pr. J. Leclerc, 59037 Lille Cedex, France.
3 Service de Radiologie, Hôpital Jean Bernard, CHRU Poiters, BP 577, 86021 Poiters Cedex, France.

OBJECTIVE. We describe the imaging findings of an unusual type of Schmorl's node appearing as giant cystlike lesion of the vertebral bodies.

CONCLUSION. Giant cystic Schmorl's nodes are unusual entities; their radiologic appearance differs dramatically from the classic description and is diagnostically challenging. However, the appearance of these nodes on conventional radiographs and especially on MR images is characteristic. Knowledge of this entity would help to eliminate unnecessary invasive diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
