here is part of the second MRI that was taken cant seem to find the other half of it, le me know what you can get from this, now one of the doc's said the crack would heal itself, its that true?
HISTORY: 34-year-old status post fall from truck with back pain.
Sagittal Tl, T2 and inversion recovery images through the lumbar spine
are obtained, as are axial Tl and T2 weighted images. No prior
studies are available for comparison.
Sagittal images demonstrate slight kyphosis at the level of the
thoracolumbar junction. Mild compressions of the Tll, T12 and Ll
vertebral bodies are identified, with the apex of the kyphosis at T12.
There is mild hyperintense inversion recovery signal involving the
anterior aspect of the Ll vertebral body, suggesting that this may
represent an area of persistent edema representing an acute to
subacute compression fracture. The Tll and T12 compression fractures
appear more chronic. There is loss of approximately 20-30% of the
vertical height involving each one of the vertebral bodies. No
significant retropulsion is identified. There is extensive
degenerative change at these levels, with intervertebral disc space
narrowing and disc desiccation at Tll-12, T12-Ll and Ll-2. Anterior
".:
osteophyte fo~matjon is also present at T12-Ll and Ll-2. The conus is
normally si tu,a t~?
Axial images demonstrate normal appearance to the T9-10 and T10-ll
intervertebral disc spaces.
At Tll-12, a mild left paracentral disc bulge distorts the ventral
thecal sac. No cord compression or stenosis is present.
At T12-Ll, the intervertebral disc space is unremarkable.
At Ll-2, there is a diffuse disc bulge distorting the ventral thecal
sac. There is ligamentous hypertrophy and facet overgrowth. No focal
disc herniation or stenosis is present. There is no evidence of
