Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzai V. lmn / F / 21 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Dorsal Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O backache with paresthesias in BUE and BLE since 4 months.
H/O fall 4 months back.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the dorsal spine was performed using the following parameters :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

9 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.

OBSERVATION :

Few mid dorsal intervertebral discs show loss of water content.

The visualized dorsal 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 visualized dorsal spinal cord reveals normal signal intensity. However the spinal cord appears smaller in calibre from the D1 level till atleast the D11 vertebral levels.

The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level.

IMPRESSION :

Small calibre of the dorsal spinal cord from the D1 to atleast the D11 vertebral levels without any change in signal intensity is suggestive of cord atrophy.
