 Signal heterogeneity is noted within the palatine tonsils, including a 6 mm cyst on the right. Correlation with previous soft tissue neck CT demonstrates prior bilateral, palatine, tonsillar abscesses. Thus, these MRI findings are felt to represent postinflammatory changes.There is reversal of normal upper cervical curvature which is likely positional. There are no fractures or subluxations. The marrow signal is benign. The cervical and upper thoracic cord are normal in signal. The cervicomedullary junction is normal. The cerebellar tonsils are in normal position. Other than the aforementioned tonsillar findings, the visualized paraspinal contents are unremarkable.C2/3: UnremarkableC3/4: UnremarkableC4/5: UnremarkableC5/6: UnremarkableC6/7: UnremarkableC7/T1: Unremarkable
1.Signal heterogeneity is noted within the palatine tonsils, including a 6 mm cyst on the right. Correlation with previous soft tissue neck CT demonstrates prior bilateral, palatine, tonsillar abscesses. Thus, these MRI findings are felt to represent postinflammatory changes.2.Otherwise negative noncontrast cervical spine MRI. Specifically, there are no MRI findings to explain the patient's left leg weakness.
