Other benign neoplasm of connective and other soft tissue of unspecified site [215.9], Reason for Study: ^Reason: history of schwannoma History: history of schwannoma Redemonstration of prior T12-L2 laminectomies for the resection of schwannoma.There is no evidence of residual or recurrence of the tumor on this scan.There is focal protrusion of disc at the level of T10-T11 which abuts thecal sac, no change of the degree of protrusion since prior exam. There is focal high signal intensity within the spinal cord at the level of T12 on T2 weighted image indicating focal myelomalacia, no change since prior exam.Although there are some degenerative changes, the thoracic and lumbar spine alignment is anatomic. The vertebral body height is preserved. The bone marrow and end plates demonstrate a normal MR appearance. The conus medullaris terminates at the L1-L2 level. There is no evidence of abnormal enhancement, cord compression or mass. Mild degenerative changes such as disc dessication, diffuse bulging of disc were seen along the lumbar spine, no change since prior exam.
1. Post laminectomy status from T12 to L2, no unusual finding.2. No evidence of abnormal enhancement indicating residual or recurrent tumor on this scan.3. Focal disc protrusion at the level of T10-T11, no change since prior exam.4. Mild degenerative changes of lumbar spine, no change since prior exam.
