Female, 31 years old, with left arm and leg weakness. Suspected mild dating disease. Small foci of spinal cord T2 signal abnormality are demonstrated along the left dorsal cord at C2 and again at C3 (see image 11 and image 16 of series 8). No definite additional spinal cord lesions are seen. The spinal cord is otherwise unremarkable with the conus tip terminating at the L1-2 level. The nerve roots of the cauda equina are unremarkable.Spinal alignment is anatomic. Vertebral body morphology is within normal limits. No marrow replacement or marrow edema is observed.A few scattered Schmorl's nodes are seen in the lower thoracic spine. No significant disc bulging or disc herniation is seen. No compromise of the spinal canal or neural foramina is suspected.
Two small foci of signal abnormality are evident within the cervical cord at the C2 and C3 levels. These would be compatible with demyelinating disease.No additional spinal cord lesions are seen, and the evaluation of the spine is otherwise unremarkable.
