Name of the Patient : Abc lmn / M / 21 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. - Cervical Spine.
(Post-contrast Study).
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the cervical spine was performed after administration of contrast, using the following parameters :
4 mm thick T1 Weighted (with fat saturation) and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.
OBSERVATION :
The cervical spinal cord over the C3 to C5 vertebral levels is swollen and shows a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images.
There is no abnormal focal area of enhancement within the cervical spinal cord and the meninges on this scan.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of altered signal within the cervical spinal cord over the C3 to C5 vertebral levels and this is not specific for a single etiology. The differential diagnosis would include :
a. Myelitis.
b. Demyelination.
c. Ischemia.
No abnormal enhancement is noted after contrast administration.
Previous scan was not available for comparison.
