56 years Female (DOB:4/3/1959)Reason: Evaluate for stenosis, spondylolisthesis, scoliosis History: Pain, deformityPROVIDER/ATTENDING NAME: MICHAEL J LEE MICHAEL J LEE MRI thoracic spine:The thoracic vertebral bodies are appropriate in the overall alignment and height. There is a dextrocurvature to the thoracic spine. The thoracic spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology. There is no compromise of thoracic spinal canal or exiting nerve roots. Lumbar spine:Five lumbar type vertebral bodies are presumed to be present which are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The conus medullaris on sagittal imaging is grossly intact. There is a compensatory levocurvature to the lumbar spine. There is a T1 hyperintense lesion present within the T12 vertebral body measuring 10 mm in size. Most likely this represents a vertebral body hemangioma. A similar lesion is present at T11.At L5-S1 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is disc desiccation present at this level.At L4-5 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is disc desiccation present at this level. There is mild ligamentum flavum hypertrophy at this level.At L3-4 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is disc desiccation present at this level.At L2-3 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L1-2 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.
1.There are mild degenerative changes present lumbar spine without significant outlet spinal canal or neural foramina.2.There is a sigmoid curvature present to the thoracolumbar spine without significant compromise to the spinal canal or exiting nerve roots.
