There is seen a fairly large, intermediate signal intensity mass lesion on the T1 Weighted images in the prevertebral and right paravertebral soft tissues extending over the L3 to the S2 vertebral levels and in the left paravertebral region extending over the L3 vertebral level, into the pelvis along the left lateral pelvic wall. This lesion appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. Multiple septae are noted within this lesion. The distal psoas muscles are involved by this lesion. Minimal extension of the soft tissue lesion into the anterior epidural space at the L4-L5 level is noted, with encasement of the left L5 nerve root in the left neural foramen at the L5-S1 level.
A postero-central protruded disc with a peridiscal osteophyte is noted at the D11-D12 level.
The rest of the lumbar vertebral bodies and the remaining intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints are unremarkable.
The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level and the thecal sac terminates at the S2 level.

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 D11 vertebral body. The D11 and D12 vertebral bodies show an ill-defined, hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images which appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. Breach of the inferior cortical endplate of D11 vertebra is noted with involvement of the D11-D12 intervertebral disc. This disc appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images.

This lesion also appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. There is no significant intraspinal extension or cord compression. The lower dorsal spinal cord show normal signal intensity.
The rest of the visualized dorso-lumbar vertebral bodies show spotty fatty marrow changes. The remaining intervertebral discs show loss of water content. The facet joints are unremarkable.

Slight anterior wedging of the D11 vertebral body with altered signal of the D11 and D12 vertebral bodies and the D11-D12 intervertebral disc most likely represents osteitis with discitis probably tuberculous in etiology.

OBSERVATION :
There is sacralization of the L5 vertebra which is as marked on the film. There is loss of water content of the L4-L5 intervertebral disc.
