Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Rampuralmn / F / 14 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzpadia.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Dorsal Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O spinal deformity since 12 years.

EXAMINATION :

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

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
6 mm thick T1 Weighted coronal images.
6 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.

OBSERVATION :

There is scoliosis of the dorsal spine with convexity to the left. The apex of the scoliotic curve is noted at about the D7, D8 and D9 vertebral levels. Resultant rotational anomaly of the dorsal and lumbar vertebrae is noted. It was difficult to label the vertebral levels on the axial images due to the scoliotic deformity. There is however, no obvious cord compression or cord signal alteration noted on this study. There is no evidence of a dysraphic spine.

The visualized vertebral bodies reveal normal signal intensity. The visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.

The conus medullaris terminates at the L1-L2 level.

IMPRESSION :

Scoliotic deformity of the dorsal spine with convexity to the left. The apex of the scoliosis is approximately at the level of the D6 to D9 vertebral levels. There is no obvious evidence of cord signal alteration or cord compression.
