help with mri interpretation
by tggktf4, Aug 13, 2007 10:14AM
Brain mri was normal done on 07/30/07
7/30/07
cervical mri with and without contrast
findings
within the substance of the cervical spinal cord, there is a question of a solitary area of hyperintense signal seen on the stir sequence. This is seen on series 4 image 7 and corresponds to the right lateral aspect of the cervical spinal cord at the c-2 level. it is not confirmed on the sagittal t-2 weighted sequence or on the axial t-2 gradient echo sequence. While possibly aftifactual, it could represent a very small subtle area of demylination in the cervical spinal cord. No abnormal enhancement. Otherwise the cervical spinal cord shows normal signal. The morphology of the cervical spinal cord is normal. No expansion of the spinal cord. No atrophy of the spianl cord.
c-2 c-3 level shows no abnormalities
c-3 c-4 shows a disc osteophyte complex that touches but does not flatten the spinal cord. The nueral foramina are patent.
c-4 c-5 level shows a disc osteophyte complex that touches but does not flatten the spinal cord. Osteophyte extends to the left uncovertebral joint and causes a mild to moderate degree of left foraminal stenosis.
c-5 c-6 level shows discogenic narrowing with a disc osteophyte complex that touches but does not flatten the spinal cord. Osteophytes extend to the uncovertebral joints bilaterally, left greater than right with mild to modersate left foraminal stenosis and mild right foraminal stenosis.
c-6 c-7 level shows osteophyte of the left uncovertebral joint and very mild degree of left foraminal stenosis.
c-7 t-1 level is unremarkable.
impression
question of a solitary area of abnormal signal within the substance of the cervical spinal cord at the c-2 level along the right lateral aspect. While possibly artifactual, this could represent a small solitary area of demylination.
cervical spinal cord shows no other questionable areas of abnormal signal and no abnormal enhancement.
multilevel cervical spondylosis from c-3 c-4 through c-6 c-7 as detailed above.
