History of spinal schwannoma. Low back pain, LE weakness, weak urine stream. There is possible mild residual myelomalacia in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spine related to a previously resected spinal mass. Otherwise, the spinal cord appears unremarkable, with no evidence of acute cord compression. There are degenerative changes in the cervical and lumbar spine, which is most pronounced at L4-5. The vertebral body heights are preserved. There is nonspecific subcentimeter skin nodularity at the surgical incision site. Within the limits of this study, no mass or fluid collection is identified.
