Female, 35 years old, with neurofibromatosis type I and pain. Cervical:Alignment is grossly anatomic. Vertebral body height and morphology are within normal limits. No pathologic marrow replacement is seen.The visualized spinal cord demonstrates normal signal intensity and morphology. No epidural abnormalities are suspected. Bilateral prominence of the C2 foraminal nerve roots is seen, with questionable prominence at additional levels.Mild degenerative disc disease is seen at C5-6 with a small central annular fissure. No significant spinal canal or foraminal stenosis is seen at any level.The thyroid gland contains multiple heterogeneous nodules. Numerous cutaneous neurofibromas are demonstrated.Brachial Plexus:As above, mild thickening of several of the cervical nerve roots is seen within the neural foramina. More distally, the brachial plexi are not clearly thickened and there are no obvious compressive lesions. No pathologic enhancement is observed.
1.At most, there may be mild thickening of several cervical nerve roots within the neural foramina.2.No intraspinal masses are seen. No spinal cord abnormalities are identified.3.The brachial plexi are not clearly affected by tumoral thickening or impingement.4.Multiple nonspecific thyroid nodules are seen.
