Intracranial and neck MRA were performed with 3D TOF and 2D TOF sequences, respectively.
OBSERVATION :
There are small bright foci on the T2 Weighted and FLAIR images in the subcortical and deep white matter in the frontal and parietal regions bilaterally. These lesions most likely represent ischemic changes.

INTRACRANIAL MRA :
The right vertebral artery is hypoplastic.
The petrous, cavernous and supraclinoid segments of the internal carotid arteries bilaterally show normal signal and calibre.

Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervico-dorsal Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O weakness with wasting of BLE since 1 1/2 months.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the cervico-dorsal spine was performed using the following parameters :
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.
The lumbar spine was screened with 5 mm thick T2 Weighted sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is near complete collapse of the D4 vertebral body and anterior wedging of the D3 vertebral body with a kyphus at that level. The D3-D4 intervertebral disc is not well identified.
The D3, D4 and D5 vertebral bodies appear hypointense on the T1 Weighted images and heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. There is prevertebral, paravertebral and anterior epidural soft tissue lesion extending over the D3 to D5 vertebral levels. This lesion is of intermediate signal on the T1 Weighted images and appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. There is resultant cord compression over these levels. The dorsal spinal cord at these levels shows a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images which suggest cord edema/ischemia.
Scan-00007
The rest of the visualized cervico-dorsal vertebral bodies reveal normal signal intensity. The remaining cervico-dorsal intervertebral discs show loss of water content. The facet joints are unremarkable.
The T2 Weighted sagittal images of the lumbar spine shows a suspicious signal change in the S1 vertebral body. Small posterior disc herniations are noted in the lumbar region. Facetal hypertrophy is noted at the D11-D12 level on the right.
Nodular lesions are noted in the lung field on either side.
IMPRESSION :
1. Near complete collapse of the D4 vertebral body, anterior wedging of the D3 vertebral body and altered signal of the D3, D4 and D5 vertebral bodies and the D3-D4 intervertebral disc as described most likely represents osteitis with discitis most likely tuberculous in etiology. Prevertebral, paravertebral and anterior epidural soft tissue lesion at D3 to D5 vertebral levels represents granulation tissue/abscess. There is resultant cord compression and cord signal alteration suggesting cord edema/ischemia.
Nodular lesions in both the lung fields also appear to be tuberculous in etiology.
The possibility of a neoplasm seems less likely.
2. Degenerative changes of the lumbar spine as described.

2. Slight facetal arthropathy at the L5-S1 level, on the left.
3. Grade I spondylolisthesis of the L5 over the S1 vertebra without spondylolysis.
4. Small posterior disc bulges at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels.
Date : 00.00.00
Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Salmn / M / 46 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzngsarkar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache radiating to the LLE since 4 years.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the lumbo-sacral 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 loss of water content of the L3-L4 and L4-L5 intervertebral discs.
There is inequality in the size of the laminae of the S1 vertebra. The left lamina being smaller than the right and is congenital in origin.
There is Grade I spondylolisthesis of the L5 vertebra over the S1 vertebra.
Minimal posterior disc bulges are noted at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels.
Slight facetal arthropathy is noted at the L5-S1 level, on the left.
The lumbar vertebral bodies and the remaining intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The rest of the facet joints and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
The conus medullaris terminates at the D12-L1 level and the thecal sac terminates at the S2 level.
..2/.
The antero-posterior dimensions of the lumbar canal at the level of the intervertebral discs are as follows :
16.0 mm at L1-L2
17.0 mm at L2-L3
18.0 mm at L3-L4
17.0 mm at L4-L5
16.0 mm at L5-S1.
IMPRESSION :
1. Congenital anomaly of the left lamina of the S1.

3. Grade I spondylolisthesis of the L5 over the S1 vertebra without spondylolysis.
4. Small posterior disc bulges at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels.
