The lower dorsal intervertebral discs show loss of water content.

Hemangioma with focal fatty change is seen in the D8 vertebral body.

The rest of the dorso-lumbar 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 conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level



A hypointense lesion on the T1 Weighted images is seen in the region of the S2 vertebral body and represents a large perineural cyst.
