Female, 39 years old, with paresthesias. Evaluate for demyelinating disease. Brain:No areas of pathologic parenchymal signal are detected. No edema or mass effect is observed. There are no abnormal extra-axial extra-axial fluid collections. Ventricular size and morphology are within normal limits. Brain volume is normal.C-spine:The spinal cord demonstrates normal signal intensity and morphology throughout. No focal lesions are seen. No epidural abnormalities are suspected.Straightening of the cervical lordosis is likely positional. Sagittal alignment is otherwise unremarkable. No pathologic marrow replacement or edema is seen.Mild disc osteophyte formation is seen from C3-4 through C6-7. No significant resulting spinal canal or foraminal stenosis is identified.
1.No lesions are seen in the brain or cervical spinal cord to suggest demyelinating disease.2.No additional specific intracranial or spinal abnormalities are identified which would account for the patient's symptoms.3.Mild degenerative findings are seen in the cervical spine.
