29 years Female (DOB:12/4/1986)Reason: paraspinal abscess History: paraplegiaReferring Attending: AGNIESZKA A ARDELT Five lumbar type vertebral bodies are presumed to be present which are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The conus medullaris on sagittal imaging is grossly intact. No abnormal enhancing lesions are appreciated in the lumbar spine. Postcontrast sagittal T1 images, T2 STIR images and postcontrast axial T1 images are degraded due to artifact which in general it suggestive of dielectric effect.At L5-S1 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L4-5 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L3-4 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L2-3 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L1-2 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.
1.There is no compromise to lumbar spinal canal or exiting nerve roots.2.No obvious mass is identified in the lumbar spinal canal.3.Exam is somewhat degraded due to artifact. This may obscure more subtle abnormalities.4.Please refer to MRI of the thoracic spine for further comments
