Syringomyelia w/ back pain, numbness and weakness of the legs. Rule out cord compression. The vertebral bodies are appropriate in the overall alignment and height. The spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology. A small syrinx measuring approximately 2 mm in diameter is present at the T11-T12 level. However, there is no evidence of spinal cord compromise.
This is a limited exam specific for the exclusion of cord compression only and does not exclude more subtle lesions such as intrinsic cord abnormalities. The patient's known small syrinx measuring approximately 2 mm in diameter is present at the T11-T12 level. However, there is no evidence of spinal cord compression.
