The cord demonstrates a long segment of increased T2 signal involving its anterior aspect from the level of T6 to T9, which also demonstrates diffusion restriction, consistent with anterior cord infarct. The remainder of the cord has normal calibre and signal intensity. The spinal canal and intervertebral foramina are capacious, with no high-grade stenosis identified. The thoracic spine vertebral bodies have normal height, alignment, and marrow signal intensity. Bilateral small pleural effusions noted, larger on the right. Subcutaneous oedematous changes noted in the cervicothoracic dorsal region until the level of T5.
