Is there transverse myelitis? Back pain in setting of disseminated zoster. The spinal cord displays normal signal and morphology. The cauda equina nerve roots are intact. There is no evidence of abnormal enhancement. The vertebral column alignment is within normal limits. The vertebral body and disc space heights are preserved. The vertebral bone marrow signal is unremarkable. There is facet arthropathy at L4-5 and L5-S1 bilaterally, which results in slight neural foraminal narrowing at these levels. However, there is no significant spinal canal stenosis. The paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable. There are bilateral pulmonary consolidations.
1. No evidence of transverse myelitis.2. Facet arthropathy at L4-5 and L5-S1 bilaterally, which results in slight neural foraminal narrowing at these levels. 3. Bilateral pulmonary consolidations, likely related to pneumonia.
