Clinical correlation:
The patient had unremarkable bloodsblood tests including a negative TB quantiferon assay. Normal CT abdomen / CT IVP and normal colonoscopy.
Repeat imaging and follow up:
There was an interval decrease in oedema and enhancement within the T11 vertebral body between the initial MRI scan and one performed 3 months later. No other new abnormalities were demonstrated. This strengthens the favoured diagnosis of resolving inflammatory changes of a Schmorl node.

Findings
was changed:
Abnormal enhancement and marrow signal in the T11 vertebral body with intact endplates. Calcific densities noted within the disc with herniation into the superior endplate of the T11 vertebra.
Given the clinical history, the findings are felt to represent a Schmorl node.
