The exact pain history was sketchy, as the patient demonstrated some signs of dementia. The patient's daughter reported no known trauma, and there was no history of previous back surgery. Two days after the MRI was obtained, the neurological surgery service requested a myelogram of the thoracic spine (figure 2) for further elucidation of the lesion that was demonstrated on MR imaging.Tuesday, 01 Feb 2005 13:47:46 GMT
