Sclerotic margin and enhancement on the opposite endplate of the involved disc suggest oedematous Schmorl's node rather than subchondral bone metastasis with focal pathologic endplate fracture. Decreased disc height is likely to be an oedematous Schmorl's node rather than subchondral bone metastasis with focal pathologic endplate fracture.
