Clinical question: Follow-up for polyradiculopathy and nerve root enhancement. Signs and symptoms: Neuropathic pain in lower extremities. Pre-and post-enhanced lumbar MRI:Examination redemonstrates uniformly mild thickening of cauda equina without convincing evidence of change since prior exam. There is however noticeable interval decrease enhancement of the cauda equina since prior examination. Trace residual enhancement however is noted.There is normal signal intensity and alignment the vertebral column without any appreciable degenerative changes. There is no evidence of central spinal stenosis or neural foraminal compromise.Unremarkable perispinal soft tissues.
1.Uniform mild thickening of cauda equina without significant change since prior exam however the enhancement of cauda equina is significantly less conspicuous.2.Unremarkable pre-and post enhanced lumbar MRI otherwise.
