80-year-old female with history of thoracic spine decompression, annual surveillance Redemonstrated is vertebral body height loss involving T8, T9, and T10 with significant wedge deformity of T9. There is also significant effacement of intervertebral disk spaces at these levels with increased fusion across the disc level at T8/9. Minimal edema within T9 and T10 have resolved. As before, there is exaggerated kyphosis of thoracic spine centered at T8/9, not significant changed. The alignment of vertebral column otherwise remains anatomical similar to prior exam.T2 hyperintensity within the thoracic cord at T7/8, T8/9, and T9/10, as well as 2 subtle punctate foci of T2 hyperintensity at the T8 and T10 levels are similar to prior exam. Postoperative changes of multilevel laminectomy at this level is stable. Post procedural T2 hyperintensity within the soft tissues has nearly resolved. Multilevel mild degenerative changes without significant associated stenosis is again noted. Redemonstrated is a partially visualized heterogeneously T2 hyperintense lesion within the right lobe of the thyroid gland measuring 22x18 mm in axial dimension which is unchanged.
1.Minimal edema within T9 and T10 have resolved. There is increased fusion across the disc level at T8/9. The remaining changes of T8, T9 and T10 are stable. 2.Stable foci of thoracic cord T2 hyperintensity of the T8 through T10 levels is stable.3.Post procedural T2 hyperintensity within the soft tissues has nearly resolved.
