Other congenital malformations of spine, not associated with scoliosis [Q76.49], Reason for Study: ^Reason: evaluate T10 lucency History: incidental finding on CT Due to patient's motion and inability to stay in MR scanner, this examination is limited.There is no evidence of abnormal MR signal intensity of T10 vertebral body on this limited scan. In particular, there is no evidence of bone marrow edema or evidence of compression fracture or surrounding soft tissue.There are thickening of bilateral posterior pleural spaces indicating pleural effusions.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 signal of the visualized cord is normal. The epidural space, thecal sac, and spinal cord are preserved with no evidence of spinal canal/neural foraminal narrowing, cord compression, or myelopathy. The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level.
1. Limited exam.2. No evidence of abnormal signal intensity on T10 vertebral body on this scan. No bone marrow edema, no compression fracture of T10 are seen. 3. No evidence of abnormal soft tissue lesion around the T10 vertebral body. Comment: if clinically indicated, bone scan for further imaging investigation or bone biopsy can be considered for further evaluations.
