 There are partially imaged spondylotic changes within the cervical spine. THORACIC SPINE: The vertebral column alignment is within normal limits. The vertebral body and disc space heights are preserved. The vertebral bone marrow signal is unremarkable. The spinal cord displays normal signal and morphology. There are mild end plate degenerative changes at T10-T11 and T11-T12. There is evidence of epidural lipomatosis without evidence of high grade spinal canal stenosis. There is a small right pleural effusion. LUMBAR SPINE: The vertebral column alignment is within normal limits. The vertebral body and disc space heights are preserved. There is mild multilevel disc desiccation and ligamentum flavum thickening. There is mild bilateral neural foramen stenosis at L5-S1. There is no significant spinal canal stenosis. The vertebral bone marrow signal is unremarkable. The imaged spinal cord displays normal signal and morphology with the conus terminates at mid L2 body. There is an atrophic right kidney. The left kidney is not well visualized. There is a transplanted kidney within the pelvis.The paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
1. Mild degenerative changes in the thoracic and lumbar spine. 2. Evidence of thoracic epidural lipomatosis with mild spinal canal narrowing. No evidence high-grade stenosis or cord compression.3. There is mild bilateral neural foramen narrowing at L5-S1. Otherwise no significant spinal canal or neural foramina narrowing in the lumbar spine.I personally reviewed the Images and/or procedure with the Resident/Fellow and agree with this report.
