Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzlmn / F / 14 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzchale.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervico-dorsal Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

H/O jaundice 1 month back.
C/O weakness of BLE with inability of walk since 2 months.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the cervico-dorsal spine was performed using the following parameters :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

6 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.

OBSERVATION :

There is a subtle hyperintense signal in the anterior column of the spinal cord at the D6 and D7 levels on the T2 Weighted images. This lesion is isointense to normal cord on the T1 Weighted images. The CSF space is unremarkable.

The visualized dorsal vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.

The cervico-dorsal spine was screened with 5 mm thick T2 Weighted sagittal images and shows a congenital block C4/C5 vertebra.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of altered signal in the spinal cord at the D6 and D7 levels which could be due to a sequelae of myelitis/demyelination.
