CLINICAL PROFILE :
Alleged H/O trauma (fall of heavy weight) on 00.00.00.
C/O progressive weakness of BLE (L>R) 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 and is retroplaced as compared to the L1 vertebra. There is suggestion of a fracture of the lamina and the spinous process of the D12 vertebral body. There is disruption of the D11-D12 facets.
There are hypointense areas in the superior portion of the D12 vertebral body which are seen to turn heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images and would represent bone edema/contusion in the given clinical setting. The superior cortical endplate of the D12 vertebra appears broken (fractured). The postero-superior portion of the D12 vertebral body is seen to compress upon spinal cord. The spinal cord at the D11 and D12 levels shows a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images and is isointense to the cord on the T1 Weighted images
suggestive of cord edema/contusion.
There is an intermediate signal intensity lesion in the anterior epidural region at the D11 level on the T1 Weighted images which is seen to turn hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images and may represent haemorrhage (scans 106.7, 106.8, 107.7, 107.8, 104.3, 104.4, 105.3, 105.4).

In a known C/O trauma the MRI features are suggestive of anterior wedging of the D12 vertebra with fracture of the lamina and spinous process with bone edema/contusion at this level as described. Altered signal of the cord at the D11 and D12 levels suggests cord edema/contusion with probable haemorrhage in the anterior epidural region at the D11 level.

The rest of the visualized dorso-lumbar vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity.
The conus medullaris terminates at the L1-L2 level.
The lumbar spine was screened with 5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images which shows a small posterior disc herniation at the L5-S1 level.
IMPRESSION :
In a known C/O trauma the MRI features are suggestive of anterior wedging of the D12 vertebra with fracture of the lamina and spinous process with bone edema/contusion at this level as described. Altered signal of the cord at the D11 and D12 levels suggests cord edema/contusion with probable haemorrhage in the anterior epidural region at the D11 level.

There is an open sacral canal from the L5 level downwards .
There is outpouching of the thecal sac at the L5 level extending upto the surface of the skin and would represent a meningocele. There is tethering of the spinal cord at the L4-L5 level which appears to be tethered to a neural placode at the L4 level. There is a suspicious hypointense area within the spinal cord at the L3 and L4 vertebral levels suggestive of a syrinx.
The remaining lumbar vertebral bodies and the intervertebral discs show normal signal intensity. The facet joints and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
The brain was screened with 5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images and T2 Weighted axial images which shows severe dilatation of both the lateral and third ventricles. The fourth ventricle appears normal. There is resultant thinning of the corpus callosum. There is beaking of the tectal plate.

INTRACRANIAL MRA :
There is narrowing of the posterior cerebral artery on the left side. This could be due to ? vasculitis. (Film II, marked on new data).
The petrous, cavernous and supraclinoid segments of the internal carotid arteries bilaterally show normal signal and calibre.
