CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache with pain radiating to BLE with paresthesias since 1 1/2 years.
H/O fever +.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the dorso-lumbar spine was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.
OBSERVATION :
There is near complete collapse of the D11 vertebral body with wedging of the D9, D10 and D12 vertebral bodies and an angular kyphus at these levels.
There is replacement of the normal marrow of the D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, D11 and D12 vertebral bodies by hypointense areas on the T1 Weighted images. This is seen to turn heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. The cortical endplates of the D12, D11, D10, D9 and the D7 vertebral bodies are breached with involvement of the D9-D10, D10-D11, D11-D12 and D7-D8 intervertebral discs. There is pre and paravertebral soft tissue extension over the D5 to D12 levels, right more than left. A small, extrapleural collection is noted at the D9 and D10 levels on the left side which is slightly hypointense to the muscle on the T1 Weighted images and turns hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images and would represent an abscess formation.
There is anterior epidural extension over the D9 to D11 vertebral levels with indentation upon the cord.
The visualized dorsal spinal cord shows normal signal intensity.
The rest of the visualized dorso-lumbar vertebral bodies and the remaining intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints are unremarkable.
The conus medullaris terminates at the L2 level.
IMPRESSION :

The possibilitiy of this being a round cell tumor cannot be entirely ruled out, though less likely.

Examination : M.R.I. of the Dorsal Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache with swelling on the right side since 1 month.

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
6 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.
4 mm thick T2 Weighted coronal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is probable erosion of the right pedicle and transverse process of D11 and the head and neck of the right eleventh rib. There is seen a small, intermediate signal intensity mass lesion on the T1 Weighted images in the right posterior paraspinal soft tissues and right paravertebral region, extending over the D10 to D12 vertebral levels. This lesion appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images.
The rest of the visualized dorsal vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints and the visualized pre and left paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
The visualized dorsal spinal cord reveals normal signal intensity.
The conus medullaris terminates at the D12-L1 level.
A well-defined lesion which is hyperintense on the T1 Weighted images is seen in the posterior lung parenchyma on the right side at the D5-D6 level. This is heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images.
Suspicious, enlarged, subcarinal lymph nodes are noted.
IMPRESSION :
1. Soft tissue lesion in the right posterior paraspinal region and right paravertebral region, extending over the D10 to D12 vertebral levels may represent granulation tissue/abscess. Probable erosion of the right pedicle, right transverse process and head and neck of the right eleventh rib is noted.
2. A lesion in the posterior lung parenchyma on the right side at the D5-D6 level as described could be a granuloma.

Examination : M.R.I. of the Dorsal Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
H/O laminectomy from D2-D4 with excision of an ependymoma on 00.00.00.
C/O numbness in BLE with difficulty in walking since then.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the dorsal spine was performed using the following parameters :
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
7 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.
4 mm thick T2 Weighted sagittal images through the cervical region.
OBSERVATION :
There is evidence of laminectomy at the D3, D4 and D5 vertebral levels with post-operative changes in the posterior soft tissues at these levels.
There is loss of water content of the dorsal intervertebral discs.
There is an ill-marginated, intramedullary lesion within the upper dorsal spinal cord extending over the D2 to D5 vertebral levels. This lesion is of intermediate signal on the T1 Weighted images but appears heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. Slight irregularity of the dorsal spinal cord at these levels is noted. Cystic/necrotic changes are also noted in the dorsal spinal cord, over these segment.
There is a hypointense lesion on the T1 Weighted images within the cervical spinal cord extending over the C2 to D1 and D6 to D8 vertebral levels. These lesions appear hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images and represent a syrinx/tumor related cyst. The cervico-dorsal spinal cord over the C2 to D1 vertebral levels appears increased in its transverse dimensions.
Small posterior disc bulges with posterior peridiscal osteophytes are noted in the cervical region.
The visualized dorsal vertebral bodies show normal signal intensity. The facet joints and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION :
1. Post-operative status.
2. Ill-marginated intramedullary mass lesion within the upper dorsal spinal cord over the D2 to D5 vertebral levels, as described, may either represent residual/recurrent tumor or post-operative changes. Cystic/necrotic areas are noted within this lesion. A tumor related cyst is noted in the cervical and dorsal spinal cords proximal and distal to this lesion.
A contrast enhanced scan would be worthwhile.
As compared to the previous MRI (study no:00007) dated 00.00.00, the tumor segment now appears ill-marginated. There is reduction in the size of the syrinx in the dorsal spinal cord, distal to the tumor segment. The proximal syrinx appears nearly unchanged.
