Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzalani.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache with pain radiating to BLE with weakness.
EXAMINATION :
The lumbo-sacral spine was scanned with 5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
After administration of contrast the following parameters were used :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted axial and sagittal images with fat saturation and 8 mm thick T1 Weighted axial images.
OBSERVATION :
After contrast administration there is patchy enhancement along the intrathecal nerve roots over L2 to L4 vertebral levels. No dural enhancement is noted.
Degenerative changes in the lumbo-sacral spine are as described on the previous MRI Scan (study no.00006 dated 00.00.00).
IMPRESSION :
Enhancement along the intrathecal nerve roots over L2 to L4 vertebral levels may suggest arachnoiditis, exact etiology undetermined.
