Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzaxmi Nanalmn / F / 32 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzikhalikar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervico-Dorsal Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O paresthesias in BLE since 4 days.
C/O acute retention of urine.

EXAMINATION :

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

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

6 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.

OBSERVATION :

The cervico-dorsal spinal cord over the C7 to D4 vertebral levels appear slightly swollen. There is an ill-defined, hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images in the cervico-dorsal spinal cord over these levels. This lesion appears isointense to normal cord on the T1 Weighted images. Resultant slight effacement of the subarachnoid space is noted.

Small postero-central protruded discs are noted at the C5-C6 and C6-C7 levels.

A bony spur is noted along the left lamina at the D2-D3 level and centrally at the D7 vertebral level with resultant slight effacement of the posterior subarachnoid space at these levels.

The visualized cervico-dorsal vertebral bodies reveal normal signal intensity. The visualized cervico-dorsal intervertebral discs show loss of water content. The facet joints and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.

IMPRESSION :

1. Slight swelling of the cervico-dorsal spinal cord over the C7 to D4 vertebral levels with altered signal as described is not specific for a single etiology. These changes may suggest myelitis/demyelination.

2. Bony spur along the left lamina at the D2-D3 level and centrally at the D7 vertebral level with resultant slight effacement of the posterior subarachnoid space at these levels.
