Neuro_MR_CS: 58 F, leg weakness.

MRI CERVICAL SPINE WITH AND WITHOUT CONTRAST:
 
CLINICAL HISTORY: 58-year-old woman with leg weakness.
 
FINDINGS:
 
Alignment: Normal.
 
Bone marrow: Normal for age.
 
Vertebrae: Multi-level degenerative changes as follows:
 
C2-C3: Tiny focal central disc bulge. No central spinal canal or 
neuroforaminal narrowing.
 
C3-C4: Small focal central disc bulge mildly effacing the ventral CSF 
and deforming the spinal cord. No neural foraminal narrowing.
 
C4-C5: Symmetrical disc bulge with mild central spinal canal but no 
neural foraminal narrowing.
 
C5-C6: Symmetrical disc bulge with mild central spinal canal and 
bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.
 
C6-C7: Symmetrical and right paracentral disc bulge with mild central 
spinal canal and moderate right neural foraminal narrowing.
 
C7-T1: Normal.
 
Cord: Predominantly central T2 hyperintensity and enhancement within the thoracic spinal cord.
 
Extra-vertebral soft tissues: Normal with stable likely venous 
structure and dilated paraspinal vein along the right aspect of the 
T10 vertebra.
 
Visualized brain: Normal.
  
IMPRESSION:
 
1. T2 signal abnormality and enhancement in the thoracic cord. Findings compatible with demyelination and/or inflammation.
 
2.  Mild multilevel cervical spine degenerative disc disease as 
detailed above.
