Clinical question: Rule out cord compression. Signs and symptoms: Leg weakness. Nonenhanced thoracic MRI:Examination demonstrates normal signal intensity and alignment of vertebral carotid.There is normal signal intensity and caliber of thoracic cord.There is no appreciable degenerative changes of the spine, spinal canal or neural foraminal compromise at any level.There is no detectable paraspinal soft tissue abnormalities.There is no interval change since prior cord compression MRI study from 6-25-15.Nonenhanced lumbar MRI:Examination demonstrates normal signal intensity and alignment of vertebral column. Minute degenerative disease at L5-S1 is noted. No detectable spinal canal or neural foraminal compromise/stenosis at any level.Normal signal intensity and morphology of the conus and cauda equina.No detectable. Spinal soft tissue abnormalities.
