Evaluate for Chiari malformation, syrinx, tether cord: scoliosis. There is moderate thoracolumbar dextroscoliosis centered at T12-L1. There is deformity of the lower spinal cord due to the scoliosis, but the spinal cord signal is unremarkable and the conus medullaris is positioned at the L1-2 level. The cerebellar tonsils are not low-lying. There is no spondylolisthesis. The vertebrae appear to be intact. There is no evidence of mass lesions associated with the spine. There is no significant spinal canal or neural foramen stenosis. The paraspinal soft tissues are unremarkable.
Moderate thoracolumbar dextroscoliosis centered at T12-L1, but no evidence of vertebral segmentation anomalies, spine tumors, or Chiari malformation. Deformity of the lower spinal cord is attributable to the scoliosis, but the conus medullaris is normally positioned at the L1-2 level.
