Radiculopathy, site unspecified [M54.10], eval for mets vs septic emboli vs causes for new R sided sciatica. R sided sciatica, evidence of possible septic emboli to brain. The spinal cord demonstrates normal caliber and signal intensity. There is no evidence of tumors in the cervical spine. The vertebral body heights and intervertebral disc spaces are maintained. There is no vertebral subluxation. The bone marrow appears unremarkable. There are small disc bulges at C2-3, C3-4, and C5-6 without significant spinal or neuroforaminal stenosis. The paraspinal soft tissues are grossly unremarkable. There is a partly imaged lesion in the right middle cerebellar peduncle region.
1. Within limitations of noncontrast examination, there is no evidence for metastatic disease to the cervical spine.2. No evidence of lesions in the imaged portions of the spinal cord.3. Mild degenerative spondylosis of the cervical spine without significant spinal or neural foraminal stenosis.4. Partly imaged lesion in the right middle cerebellar peduncle region. Please refer to the prior brain MRI report for additional details.I personally reviewed the Images and/or procedure with the Resident/Fellow and agree with this report.
