Name of the Patient : Abc Xyza Wadlmn / F / 5 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzehta.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Dorsal Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

H/O fever with cough since 7 days.
H/O spinal deformity.

EXAMINATION :

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

3 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.

4 mm thick T1 Weighted coronal images.

OBSERVATION :

There is scoliosis of the dorsal spine in the middorsal region with convexity to the right. Slight left lateral wedging of the D5, D6 and D7 vertebrae is noted with crowding of the left sided ribs in this region. The height of the D6 and D7 vertebra appear more as compared to their antero-posterior dimensions suggestive of waisting. Probable fusion of the posterior elements of these vertebrae is also noted. The D5, D6 and D7 vertebrae appear as a congenital block vertebra.

The visualized dorsal vertebral bodies and 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. There is no cord compression. A hyperintense signal seen in the centre of the spinal cord on the T2 Weighted axial images appears artifactual and is not seen on the sagittal and coronal images (Gibbs phenomena).

The conus medullaris terminates at the L1-L2 level.

IMPRESSION :

Congenital block D5/D6/D7 vertebrae with slight scoliosis of the middorsal spine in this region. No abnormality of the spinal cord is noted in this region.
