Well, if you know Dave Yousem,

0:02

you know that I like my VITAMIN C and D mnemonic.

0:06

And this can be applied to nearly every part of

0:09

the body when one is thinking about

0:11

a differential diagnosis.

0:13

So VITAMIN C stands for Vascular, Infection

0:17

Traumatic, Acquired, Idiopathic,

0:19

Neoplastic, Congenital and Drug.

0:21

So, VITAMIN C and D.

With respect to intradural intramedullary lesion,
