Other myelitis [G04.89], Reason for Study: ^Reason: Evaluate for etiology of LE weakness. Pt w/ h/o transverse myelitis History: Weakness. Motion artifacts degraded image quality significantly.Comparing to prior scan, the cervical spinal cord size appears to be normal on today's scan without showing evidence of abnormal cord signal intensity.Subtle patchy increased signal intensities on cervical spinal cord especially around C3 to C5 level more likely artifactual than real lesion.There is no evidence of spinal cord swelling/enlargement on thoracic spine either.The cervical spine appears to be straightened.However, the cranial-cervical junction is normal. There is normal thoracic kyphosis.The spine alignment is anatomic. The vertebral body height is preserved. The bone marrow and end plates demonstrate a normal MR appearance. The cord signal is normal. The epidural space, thecal sac, and spinal cord are preserved with no evidence of spinal canal/neural foraminal stenosis, cord compression or myelopathy. The conus medullaris terminates at the level of L1.
1. Interval resolution of upper cervical spinal cord T2 high signal intensity lesions with spinal cord swelling since prior scan. At this point, there is no evidence of abnormal signal intensity, nor evidence of spinal cord swelling on both cervical and thoracic spinal cord.2. Straightening of cervical spine, otherwise unremarkable C and T spine MRI.
