Name of the Patient : Abc XyzA. Hlmn / F / 27 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : Screening of the Cervico-dorsal spine.
Screening MRI of the cervico-dorsal spine was performed using 4 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images and 6 mm thick T1 Weighted coronal images. Altered signal of the D5, D6 and D7 vertebral bodies is noted with a prevertebral, left paravertebral and anterior epidural soft tissue lesions at these levels.
The above described features most likely suggest tuberculous osteitis with a prevertebral and left paravertebral abscess/granulation tissue and anterior epidural granulation tissue at the D6 vertebral level.
The possibility of a neoplasm seems less likely.

CLINICAL PROFILE :
H/O fever (on & off) since 1 1/2 months.
C/O altered behaviour with bladder/bowel incontinence since 00.00.00.

EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the brain was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted, proton and T2 Weighted axial images.
5 mm thick FLAIR coronal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is an ill-defined mass lesion in the left frontal lobe which is hypointense to the gray matter on the T1 Weighted images. This is seen to turn heterogeneously hyperintense on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images. A streak of hyperintense signal on the T1 Weighted images is seen at the periphery of the lesion, anteriorly, (scan 104.14) which is seen to remain so on the proton and T2 Weighted images and may represent altered blood/paramagnetic substances. There is surrounding edema with mass effect and effacement of the adjacent sulci. There is slight encroachment into the genu of the corpus callosum on the left side. Mild indentation upon the frontal horn of the left lateral ventricle is noted with slight shift of the anterior falx to the right.

Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O neck pain with (occasional) paresthesias in BUE since 1 month.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the cervical spine was performed using the following parameters :
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) axial images.
SOME IMAGES SHOW PATIENT MOTION INSPITE OF SEDATION.
OBSERVATION :
The C6 and C7 vertebral bodies appear hypointense on the T1 Weighted images and heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. There is erosion of the superior cortical endplate of the C7 vertebral body with probable involvement of the C6-C7 intervertebral disc. The spinous processes of C6 and C7 vertebrae also seem to be involved. Destruction of the right sided pedicle, lamina and the facetal articulation of C6 and C7 vertebrae on the right is noted.
There is seen an intermediate signal intensity soft tissue lesion on the T1 Weighted images in the prevertebral space, right paravertebral region and in the right posterior paraspinal muscles extending over C6 and C7 vertebral levels. This lesion appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) images. Extension into the anterior and right lateral epidural space at these levels is also noted with cord compression. The cervical spinal cord at this level shows a subtle hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) images which may represent cord edema/ischemia.

Small posterior disc bulges are noted at the C4-C5 and C5-C6 levels.

IMPRESSION :
Altered signal of the C6 and C7 vertebrae with probable involvement of the C6-C7 intervertebral disc as described most likely represents osteitis with discitis probably tuberculous in etiology. Prevertebral, paravertebral, posterior paraspinal and epidural soft tissue lesion on the right would represent granulation tissue/abscess. There is resultant cord compression and subtle cord signal alteration at C6 and C7 levels which may suggests cord edema/ischemia.
