 The spinal cord is of normal caliber and signal. There is mild levocurvature of the mid thoracic spine and dextrocurvature of the lower thoracic spine. Alignment is otherwise maintained. Vertebral body heights are normal. Bone marrow signal is benign. There are mild multilevel degenerative changes with disc desiccation. There are mild disc bulges such as at the T10-T11 and T11-T12 levels without significant spinal canal stenosis. There is moderate facet arthropathy in the lower thoracic spine, relatively worse at the bilateral T10-T11 level and left T11-T12 level. There is no significant spinal canal stenosis at any level. There is mild to moderate right T10-T11 and to a lesser degree right T9-T10 neural foraminal stenosis. There is also moderate left T11-T12 neural foraminal stenosis. Right C7-T1 facet arthropathy is noted, with degenerative changes in the cervical spine better assessed on recent MRI from 11/13/2015.
1. No evidence of thoracic cord signal abnormality or spinal canal stenosis. 2. Multilevel degenerative changes including facet arthropathy in the lower thoracic spine and up to moderate left T11-T12 and right T10-T11 neural foraminal stenosis.
