Clinical question: R/O appendiceal pathology, evaluate for complications from Crohn, fistulae, etc. Signs and symptoms: Liquid stools, abdominal pain. Pre-and post-enhanced lumbar MRI:The field of exam extends from T10 -- T11 disk space inferiorly through S3 level.There is normal anatomical development of vertebral column.There is normal anatomical alignment of the right common. There is no appreciative degenerative disk disease or hypertrophic changes of posterior elements. There is no evidence of spinal canal compromise or stenosis at any level.There is no evidence of neural foraminal compromise at any level.There is normal morphology and signal intensity of the perispinal soft tissues and the musculature.Visualized SI joints are unremarkable.There is normal signal intensity and caliber of the lower thoracic cord, conus and the cauda equina.Post enhanced images demonstrate no detectable abnormal enhancement of the vertebral column, cord or the cauda equina.
Unremarkable pre-and post enhanced MRI of the lumbar spine.
