Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz M. Rampuralmn / M / 37 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzapadia.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Dorso-lumbar Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O backache radiating to BLE since 1 month.
H/O fall 4 years back.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the dorso-lumbar spine was performed using the following parameters :

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.

OBSERVATION :

There is slight anterior wedging of the D12 vertebral body with focal fatty marrow changes, which may be the sequelae of previous trauma. The D11-D12 intervertebral disc shows loss of water content. Irregularity of the superior cortical margin of the D12 is noted. A small posterior disc bulge with peridiscal osteophytes is noted at the D11-D12 level. A schmorls node is also noted along the inferior margin of the D12.

The rest of the visualized dorso-lumbar vertebral bodies and the remaining intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.

The visualized dorso-lumbar spinal cord reveals normal signal intensity.

The conus medullaris terminates at the L1-L2 level.

IMPRESSION :

1. Slight anterior wedging of the D12 vertebral body with focal fatty marrow changes most likely the sequelae of previous trauma.

2. A small posterior disc bulge with peridiscal osteophytes at the D11-D12 level.
