Male, 69 years old, with history of thoracic angiosarcoma status post resection, follow-up examination. Evidence of laminectomy is again seen from T4 through T7 for resection of prior intraspinal tumor. Epidural and soft tissue scarring appears similar to prior and does result in partial effacement of the dorsal thecal sac. Areas of signal abnormality are also redemonstrated within the left aspect of the T5 and T6 vertebral bodies related to prior tumor involvement. These also show no significant interval change. Within the limitations of a noncontrast examination, there are no findings to suggest recurrent or growing tumor.The sagittal alignment of the thoracic spine is within normal limits. Vertebral body height and morphology are unremarkable. Except as above, marrow signal characteristics are benign. There is mild narrowing of the spinal canal between T5 and T7 due to epidural scarring, but no high-grade spinal canal stenosis is seen at any level. Disc protrusions are evident at multiple levels, most notably at T8-9 where there is mild cord impingement, without significant interval change.
1.Demonstration of findings related to intraspinal tumor resection.2.Dorsal epidural and soft tissue scarring is again seen extending from T4 through T7.3.There is no evidence of recurrent or growing tumor.4.A disc protrusion with mild cord impingement at T8-9 is unchanged.
