Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzath lmn / M / 55 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Dorsal Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O acute onset of weakness of BLE since 2 months.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the 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.

OBSERVATION :

There is loss of water content of the mid-dorsal intervertebral discs.

Small postero-central protruded disc is noted at the D9-D10 level.

Hypertrophic facetal arthropathy is noted at the D9-D10 level on the left and D10-D11 level on the right, with resultant slight compromise of the spinal canal at these levels. Minimal facetal hypertrophy is noted at the D8-D9 level on the right.

The costo-vertebral joints at the D6-D7, D8-D9, D9-D10 and D10-D11 levels on the left also show degenerative changes. Anterior peridiscal osteophytes are also noted in the lumbar region. Lateral peridiscal osteophytes are seen in the mid-dorsal region on the left side.

The visualized dorsal vertebral bodies reveal normal signal intensity. The visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.

The visualized dorsal spinal cord reveals normal signal intensity.

The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level.

IMPRESSION :

1. Hypertrophic facetal arthropathy at the D9-D10 level on the left and D10-D11 level on the right, with resultant slight compromise of the spinal canal at these levels.

2. Degenerative changes in the costo-vertebral joints at the D6-D7, D8-D9, D9-D10 and D10-D11 levels on the left.
