Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Saiflmn / M / 39 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzoshipura.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Dorso-lumbar Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

Alleged H/O accident 7 months back with weakness of the LUE and BLE since then.

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 anterior wedging of the D12 vertebral body with angular kyphus at that level.

There are hypointense areas on the T1 Weighted images replacing the normal marrow of the D12 vertebral body. These are seen to turn hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. The superior cortical endplates appears to be breached. An osteophyte arising from the postero-superior aspect of the D12 vertebral body is seen to compress upon the spinal cord. The spinal cord at the D11 and D11-D12 levels is pinched and shows hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images. This appears hypointense to the normal cord on the T1 Weighted images and would represent myelomalacia.

Schmorls nodes are seen in the lower dorsal and lumbar region. The D11-D12 intervertebral disc shows loss of water content.

A posterior disc herniation is seen at the L2-L3 level.

Diffuse fatty changes are seen in the D10, D11, D12 and L1 vertebral bodies.

The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level.

IMPRESSION :

In known C/O trauma, the MRI features are suggestive of :

1. Anterior wedging of the D12 vertebra with bone edema.

2. Pinching of the cord at the D11 and D11-D12 levels by an osteophyte arising from the superior aspect of the D12 vertebra with myelomalacia.

C/O backache radiating to BLE since 15 days.
H/O laminectomy with discectomy at L3-L4 and L4-L5 levels 1 month back.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the lumbo-sacral 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 scoliosis of the lumbar spine with convexity to the left.

Post-operative changes are seen in the posterior soft tissues over the L3 to S1 levels with laminectomy of the L4 and L5 vertebrae.

There is an apparent posterior disc herniation (seen in the immediate post-operative period) at the L3-L4 level with anterior indentation of the thecal sac. Posterior peridiscal osteophytes are also noted at this level. The intrathecal nerve roots at this level appears compressed. The L3-L4 disc also appears more hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images as compared to the previous scan.







There is an intermediate signal intensity area on the T1 Weighted images in the lateral recess of the L4 vertebra which is heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images and would represent granulation tissue. There is resultant encasement of the L4 nerve roots (scans 104.12, 104.14). Another similar intermediate signal intensity lesion is seen in the left lateral recess of L5 vertebra (scan 104.8) with probable encasement of the L5 nerve root.

There is slight irregularity and erosion of the superior cortical endplate of the L4 vertebral body with adjacent hypointense areas on the T1 Weighted images replacing the normal marrow of the L4 vertebral body. These are isointense to the marrow on the T2 Weighted images and would represent post-operative bone-edema.

Small posterior disc bulge is noted at the L4-L5 level with anterior indentation of the thecal sac. The L4-L5 intervertebral disc shows slight loss of water content.

The rest of the 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 conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level and the thecal sac terminates at the S1 level.
