| Hi everyone we have had Samuels mri scan results for a while now but not discussed them with his consultant yet but the date is dawning it's next thursday.
Well, i was wondering what everyone thinks of the results i got and what if any questions you would ask.
I'm a bit behind in my research due to the fact we have spent so many hours attending appointments it's hard to find time to study but i do have some questions in my mind.HERE goes with what the mri showed.
CERVICAL AND THORACIC SPINE: there is upper thoracic scoliosis convex to the left, apparently due to a left sided hemivertebra which is fused to the left side of the boady of t3 inferiorly. Butterfly vertebra are shown at T1, T2 and T4. There is some posterior fusion of the ribs at these levelsand there is anterior fusion of the right 1st and 2nd ribs. In the cervical region 7 vertebra appear to be present. The C5 and 6 vertebra are butterfly vertebra> partial fusion of the posterior elements of C3 and 4 is noted and also of C6 and 7. The scapular and clavicals appear normal. Conclusion Multiple congenital anomalies of the cervical and upper thoracic spine and ribs with scoliosis caused by a left sided hemivertebra fused to the body of T3 and 2.
Any help with questions or anything anyone can tell me about the report would be most appreciated.
Thanks Suzanne |
