Multiple sclerosis. Sensory band at T9. There is no abnormal cord signal. Cord volume is maintained. There is very minimal anterior wedging involving the T6-T8 vertebral bodies. Vertebral body heights and alignment in the thoracic spine are otherwise maintained. Mild multilevel degenerative changes are seen including mild disc desiccation and height loss at T6-T7, T7-T8, and T8-T9 levels. There is a disc protrusion at the T8-T9 level with effacement of the ventral thecal sac and minimal contour deformity of the ventral cord bilaterally. Minimal disc protrusions and bulges are present more superiorly. There is however no significant spinal canal stenosis or neural foraminal stenosis at any level.There is mild diffuse heterogeneity of the bone marrow signal which is nonspecific. No discrete suspicious osseous lesions are evident.Paraspinous soft tissues are grossly unremarkable.
1. No appreciable cord signal abnormality to suggest demyelinating disease.2. Mild multilevel degenerative changes including disc protrusion at the T8-T9 level which effaces the ventral thecal sac and contacts the ventral cord. However there is no significant spinal canal stenosis overall at this or any other level in the thoracic spine.
