Findings
was changed:
Evidence of extensive epidural fat infiltration which is hyperintense on both T1W and T2W. There is also associated chronic fatty atrophy of back muscles. The cord and cauda equina are compressed anteriorly by the epidural lipomatosis, with complete effacement of CSF. There are mild posterior disc herniations at several levels which may be contributing to the compressive myelopathy.
