 CERVICAL: The vertebral body alignment, heights and marrow signal are normal. The spinal cord signal is within normal limits. Minimal degenerative changes are seen at C4-C5, C5-C6 without significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.THORACIC: There are postoperative findings related to prior right T1-2 intradural-extramedullary mass resection with right laminectomy at T1 and T2. Previously seen fluid collection in the posterior soft tissue operative bed is nearly resolved. Lack of intravenous contrast somewhat limits evaluation however, there is no evidence of residual or recurrent tumor. Again seen is mild rotation of the upper thoracic cord likely related to scarring/thecal sac adhesions. Minimal T2 hyperintense signal in the upper thoracic cord is again seen. The vertebral body alignment, heights and marrow signal are normal. There is no significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.
1. No evidence of recurrent tumor within the limitations of noncontrast MRI. 2. Please see note in technique section. Patient will return for postgadolinium sequences at a later time.
