Female, 31 years old, with burning sensation in the skin and pain. Thoracic:Spinal alignment is anatomic. Vertebral body height and morphology are within normal limits. Scattered patchy areas of T1 and T2 hyperintensity within several of the thoracic vertebral bodies likely represent areas of focal fat or benign hemangiomas. No pathologic marrow signal abnormality or enhancement is seen.Spinal cord demonstrates normal signal intensity and morphology. No areas of pathologic cord or left meningeal enhancement are seen. No epidural abnormalities are suspected.The intervertebral discs are preserved. No significant disc bulge or herniation is seen. The spinal canal and neural foramina are patent.Lumbar:Spinal alignment is anatomic. Vertebral body height and morphology are within normal limits.Scattered patchy areas of T1 and T2 hyperintensity within the vertebral bodies likely represent areas of focal fat or benign hemangiomas. No pathologic marrow signal abnormality or enhancement is seen.The visualized distal spinal cord, conus and nerve roots of the cauda equina are unremarkable. No pathologic intraspinal or leptomeningeal enhancement is seen. No epidural abnormalities are suspected.The intervertebral disc spaces are preserved. No significant disc bulge or herniation is noted. The spinal canal and neural foramina are patent. Mild facet arthropathy is demonstrated at L4-5 and L5-S1.
