Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzi Pinlmn / F / 50 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzzare.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Dorso-lumbar Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O sudden onset of paraplegia since 4 days with bladder incontinence since 1 day.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the dorso-lumbar spine was performed using the following parameters :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.

OBSERVATION :

There is slight wedging of the D7 and D8 vertebral bodies. The D7 and D8 vertebral bodies appear hypointense on the T1 Weighted images and hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. The D7-D8 intervertebral disc also seems to be involved.

There is a prevertebral, paravertebral and anterior epidural soft tissue lesion over D7 to D8 vertebral levels. This lesion is of intermediate signal intensity on the T1 Weighted images and appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. There is resultant cord compression and cord signal alteration (hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images) suggesting cord edema/ischemia.

The rest of the visualized dorso-lumbar vertebral bodies and the remaining intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints are unremarkable.

The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level.


IMPRESSION :

Altered signal D7 and D8 vertebral bodies and the D7-D8 intervertebral disc most likely represents osteitis with discitis probably tuberculous in etiology. There is resultant cord compression and cord signal alteration at these levels suggesting cord edema/ischemia.

The possibility of a neoplasm is less likely.

The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level.

There is a lobulated lesion in the right extrapleural space at the D8 and D9 levels. This lesion is hyperintense to normal muscle on the T1 Weighted images and is heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images (? arising from the right D8 rib).

A suspicious soft tissue lesion is seen in the hilar region of the spleen (se/im 103/7) ? lymphnode. Further evaluation with ultrasonography would be worthwhile.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzm B. Ganglmn / M / 43 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzhari.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O neck pain with weakness and numbness in all four extremities and gait imbalance since 3 months.

EXAMINATION :

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

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
3 mm thick T1 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) axial images.
3 mm thick T1 Weighted coronal images.

OBSERVATION :

There is loss of water content of the cervical intervertebral discs.

There is seen a dumb-bell shaped lesion in the cervical spinal canal on the right extending over the C4 and C5 vertebral levels and extending out into the right paravertebral region through the right neural foramen at the C4-C5 level. This lesion is predominantly iso to hypointense when compared to the normal cord on the T1 Weighted images and appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) images. This lesion is most likely intradural and extramedullary in location. There is cord compression and displacement of the cord to the left over the C4 to C6 vertebral levels. The cervical spinal cord at these levels shows a hyperintense signal on the Fast Scan (T2 *) images suggesting cord edema/ischemia. Erosion of the right lateral margin of the C5 vertebral body is noted. The right vertebral artery at this level is displaced anteriorly.

3 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted coronal images.

3 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

The brain was screened with 5 mm thick T2 Weighted axial images.

After administration of contrast the following parameters were used :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted axial images with magnetization transfer.

3 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal and coronal images.

3 mm thick T1 Weighted delayed coronal images were also obtained.

OBSERVATION :

After administration of contrast, the lesion in the anterior pituitary gland initially does not enhance. On the delayed images this lesion fills up with contrast.

The T2 Weighted axial images of the brain reveal prominent perivascular spaces (which appear as confluent lesions) in the cerebellar hemispheres bilaterally. There is no abnormal enhancement in the brain parenchyma or the meninges.

Inflammatory changes are noted in the left maxillary sinus and sphenoid sinus.

IMPRESSION :

An approximately 8.0 x 7.0 x 6.0 mms sized lesion in the anterior pituitary gland to the left of the midline with enhancing pattern as described most likely represents a pituitary microadenoma.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzra D. Klmn / M / 27 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

Known C/O tuberculosis involving the left atlanto-occipital joint with enlarged lymphnodes in the cervical region. Detected in February 0000. On AKT since then.
For follow-up.

EXAMINATION :

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

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

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

OBSERVATION :

There is still seen an ill-defined, hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images in the left occipital condyle and the left lateral mass of C1. This lesion is predominantly hypointense on the T2 Weighted images with subtle hyperintense areas. Minimal left paravertebral soft tissue lesion is noted around the left atlanto-occipital joint.

There is loss of water content of the cervical intervertebral discs.

Posterior disc bulge with posterior peridiscal osteophytes is noted at the C3-C4 level.

The rest of the cervical vertebral bodies show normal signal intensity. The joints of Luschka and the visualized prevertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.

The cervical spinal cord reveals normal signal intensity.
..2/.





R>
The cervico-medullary junction is unremarkable.

Small, subcentimeter lymphnodes are noted deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscles bilaterally.

IMPRESSION :

As compared to the previous MRI dated 00.00.00 (scan no.00003), there is significant resolution of the left paravertebral soft tissue lesion. Signal change in the left occipital condyle and left lateral mass of C1 may suggest sclerosis, the sequelae of healing of the previous infective lesion. There is reduction in the size of the cervical lymphnodes.
