Unspecified fall, initial encounter [W19.XXXA], Reason for Study: ^Reason: r/o cord compression History: s/p fall, profound weakness. There is about 10% compression fracture of T12 vertebral body with the vertebral body bone marrow edema.In addition, there is high signal intensity on T 11-12 inter-spinous process ligament as well as subcutaneous tissues overlying T 11-12 spinous process indicating soft tissue contusion and possible T 11-12 intraspinous ligament injury.However, alignment of thoracic vertebral bodies appears to be maintained.There is normal cervical lordosis. The cranial-cervical junction appears to be normal. There is normal thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis. The spine alignment is anatomic. 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. There is no evidence of cord compression or mass.
1. Compression fracture of T12 vertebral body with about 10% height loss with possible associated T11-12 interspinous process injury and soft tissues overlying T11-12 spinous process contusion.2. No evidence of spinal cord compression or abnormal MR signal intensity.
