Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz lmn / M / 26 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzwalla.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervico-dorsal Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O pain in the right shoulder and pain on the left side of chest.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the cervico-dorsal 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 evidence of a congenital block D2 and D3 vertebra. The spinous processes of these vertebrae appear fused. No signal change is noted in these vertebral bodies. The C5-C6, D1-D2 and D3-D4 intervertebral discs show slight loss of water content.
A small postero-central protruded disc is noted at the C5-C6 level.
The visualized cervico-dorsal 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 cervico-dorsal spinal cord reveals normal signal intensity. There is no cord compression.
IMPRESSION :
1. Congenital block D2 and D3 vertebra with fusion of the spinous processes of these vertebrae, without signal change or cord compression.
2. A small postero-central protruded disc at the C5-C6 level.
