Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzlmn / M / 57 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzndhi.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Right Knee Joint.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

H/O sudden onset of pain in the right knee joint while climbing stairs 2 months back with subsequent swelling and locking since then.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the right knee joint was performed using the following parameters :

4 mm thick T1 Weighted, proton and GRASS sagittal images.

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.

4 mm thick T1 Weighted axial images.

OBSERVATION :

Menisci :

There is seen an intrasubstance, hyperintense signal on all the pulse sequences in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus of the right knee joint, extending upto the superior articular surface. This represents Grade III meniscal signal (meniscal tear).

A linear hypointense signal is seen in the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus on all the pulse sequences not reaching upto the articular surface would represent Grade II meniscal signal (meniscal degeneration).

The anterior horn of the medial and lateral menisci reveal normal configuration and signal characteristics.


Cruciate Ligaments :

The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments show normal contour and signal characteristics.

Collateral Ligaments and the Patellar Tendon :

The medial and lateral collateral ligaments and the patellar tendon are normal.

Hoffas Fat Pad :

The Hoffas fat pad is normal.

Articular cartilage and bones :

The articular cartilage overlying the patella and tibia appears normal.

There is a small right knee joint effusion.

There is an ill-defined, hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted and STIR images in the medial femoral condyle and in medial tibial plateau, adjacent to the medial tibio-femoral joint. This signal appears iso to hypointense to normal marrow on the T1 Weighted images. A well-marginated, focal, hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images is noted in the subchondral region along the inferior margin of the medial femoral condyle. This lesion appears slightly hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and STIR images. Slight irregularity of the underlying articular cartilage is noted (scans 102.12, 13).

IMPRESSION :

1. Altered signal in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus of the right knee joint, extending upto the superior articular surface represents Grade III meniscal signal (meniscal tear).
..3/.





- 3 - Scan-00006


2. Small right knee joint effusion.

3. Focal altered signal in the subchondral region along the inferior margin of the medial femoral condyle with slight irregularity of the overlying articular cartilage may represent a subchondral fracture/osteochondritis dessicans.

4. Diffuse altered signal in the marrow of the medial femoral condyle and in medial tibial plateau, adjacent to the medial tibio-femoral joint most likely represents bone bruise.

Name of the Patient : Abc XyzShlmn / F / 50 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzbar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

Alleged H/O vehicular accident 3 months back with neckpain since then.
C/O weakness of BUE and BLE since 1 month.

EXAMINATION :

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

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) axial images.

OBSERVATION :

There is loss of normal cervical lordosis and loss of water content of the cervical intervertebral discs.

There is collapse of the C4 vertebral body which is retropulsed. The C4 vertebral body and its appendages appear hypointense to normal marrow on the T1 Weighted images and appear iso to hyperintense to the rest of the vertebrae on the T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) images. The appendages of the C4 vertebra appear expansile. There is resultant cord compression at C4. The cervical spinal cord at this level appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) images suggesting cord edema/ischemia. The C3-C4 and C4-C5 intervertebral discs do not seem to be involved by the lesion. A right paravertebral and right posterior paraspinal soft tissue component of the lesion is noted over the C4 and C5 vertebral levels, with encasement of the right vertebral artery over these levels.



The rest of the cervical vertebral bodies show normal signal intensity. The joints of Luschka are unremarkable.

The atlanto-axial region and the cervico-medullary junction are unremarkable.

IMPRESSION :

Collapse of the C4 vertebral body with altered signal of the C4 body and its appendages as described is not specific for a single etiology. A metastasis/round cell tumor may be considered as a differential diagnosis. The possibility of an infective etiology seems less likely. There is resultant cord compression and cord signal alteration at the C4 vertebral level suggesting cord edema/ischemia.
