Suspicion of an infarction or inflammatory lesion causing paraplegia. Many of the images are degraded by patient motion. There is no evidence of abnormal signal or restricted diffusion in the spinal cord, within the limits of artifact. There is degenerative cervical spondylosis, However, there does not appear to be extrinsic compromise of the spinal cord. There is a subcentimeter sacral perineural cyst. There is no evidence of abnormal enhancement within the spinal canal. The vertebral bodies are intact and the vertebral column alignment is anatomic. The treated aortic dissection and bilateral pleural effusions are partially imaged. The left internal jugular vein flow void appears to be lacking. There is an incisive canal cyst.
1. No evidence of acute spinal cord infarction or extrinsic compression of the spinal cord or cauda equina.2. The treated aortic dissection and bilateral pleural effusions are partially imaged. 3. Findings suggestive of left internal jugular vein thrombosis.
