 THORACIC: There is a thin syrinx in the thoracic spine measuring up to 2 x 1 mm extending from T6-T12 vertebral bodies (on axial images). There is no other cord signal or caliber abnormality. There is normal alignment of the thoracic spine. The osseous marrow signal is benign. There are scattered high T1 signal foci in the vertebral bodies likely representing hemangiomas. There is no sniffing disk herniation or spinal stenosis in the thoracic spine.LUMBAR: There are the usual compliment of 5 lumbar type non-rib bearing vertebral bodies and the last well formed disk space is referred to as L5-S1. There is normal alignment of the lumbar spine. The osseous marrow signal is benign. There are scattered hemangiomas/fatty marrow deposition. There is no osseous marrow edema. The conus terminates at L1, within normal limits. There is no fatty filum/lipoma or dysraphism.L1-2: No disk herniation or spinal stenosis.L2-3: Minimal disk bulge with no spinal stenosis.L3-4: Mild disk desiccation and loss of disk height, left paracentral annular fissure, and mild disk bulge. No spinal stenosis.L4-5: Disk desiccation, moderate loss of disk height, right paracentral annular fissure and protrusion superimposed on diffuse disk bulge and facet arthropathy with disk material abutting the right subarticular zone. No significant spinal stenosis.L5-S1: Diffuse disk bulge, central annular fissure, facet arthropathy. No spinal stenosis.
1.Thin 2 x 1 mm thoracic cord syrinx extending from the T6-T12 vertebral body levels.2.No tethered cord, fatty filum/lipoma or dysraphism.
