Clinical question: Status post lumbar fusion L4 -- L5. Patient is now complaining of right thigh pain. Attention to right side screw placement. Signs and symptoms: As above. Nonenhanced lumbar spine CT:Examination is suboptimal due to patient's large body habitus as well as streak artifacts from postoperative fixating metallic hardware. There is mild levoscoliosis centered at L4 level, and mild anterolisthasis at L4 - L5 level without significant change since prior MRI exam dated 11 -- 12 -- 12.There is evidence of prior posterior approach fusion of L4 and L5 utilizing bilateral transpedicular screws at both levels as well as fusion of the disk space.At L4 level bilateral transpedicular screws appears to be entirely within the pedicles and without projection into the spinal canal or the neural foramina.Similar observation is also made of bilateral transpedicular screws at L5 level. Bilateral fixating rods appear unremarkable.At the L4 level there is a linear defect traversing the left transverse process (axial series 9 image 279 through 289) consistent with a fracture or post op changes.On coronal reformatted series 80940 images 18, 19 and 20 there is evidence of a linear defect across the left L5 lamina it also suspect a fracture.Redemonstration of previously seen widened left articulating facet which on prior MRI demonstrated fluid signal intensity content.There is mild compression fracture of the superior endplate of L5 with extensive sclerotic changes of the endplates consistent with chronic fracture. This finding however is new since prior MRI exam from 11 -- 12 -- 12.
1.Postoperative changes of posterior fusion at L4 -- L5 including placement of bilateral interpedicular screws at L4 and L5 without evidence of extension of placed screws into the neural foraminal or spinal canal. The appropriateness of the position should be decided by the referring clinical physician. There is also evidence of fusion of disk at this level with metallic and bony fragments within the intervertebral disk space.2.Limited exam due to patient's large body size as well as extensive streak artifact from fixating screws and rods.3.Evidence of complex fracture involving the left transverse process and laminae of L4 as detailed.4.Within the limitation of the exam there is no convincing finding to explain patient's right sided thigh pain.

Clinical question: Evaluate for stroke. Signs and symptoms: Left-sided facial droop and lower extremity weakness. Nonenhanced head CT: No detectable acute intracranial process.CT however is insensitive for early detection of acute non-hemorrhagic ischemic strokes. Examination demonstrates fairly extensive subcortical and periventricular low attenuation white matter which considering patient's stated age of 88 likely representing advanced age indeterminate small vessel ischemic strokes. Similar changes are also present in bilateral basal ganglia and right paramedian pons.Unremarkable cerebral cortex.Moderately bilateral cavernous carotid vascular calcification.Paranasal sinuses are well pneumatized. There is a sclerotic bony thickening of the left chamber of the sphenoid sinus likely secondary to prior chronic long-standing sinus disease. Remote residual cortical thickening still present.Bilateral mastoid air cells and middle air cavities are pneumatized and unremarkable.Unremarkable images through the orbits.

There is a small calcific plaque at the origin of this hypoplastic right vertebral with suspected high-grade stenosis. The right vertebral artery remains patent in its cervical portion however there is highly suspected complete occlusion of its intracranial segment. A dominant left vertebral artery remains widely patent and unremarkable.

Unremarkable neck CTA otherwise.3.CTA of brain demonstrates unremarkable bilateral internal carotid arteries, anterior and middle cerebral arteries and their branches. Complete occlusion of a small hypoplastic right vertebral artery in its intracranial segment. Patent dominant left vertebral artery and basilar artery and their branches. There is atherosclerotic disease of basilar artery and with resultant multiple foci of mild vascular lumen compromise and ectasia.

52-year-old male. Metastatic laryngeal cancer to the lung status post CRT and laryngectomy. On therapy. CHEST:LUNGS AND PLEURA: Volume loss and scarring extending from the right hilum to the apex with associated soft tissue measuring up to 17 mm in thickness is unchanged (series 3, image 50). Left apical fibrosis.No suspicious pulmonary nodules or masses. Severe emphysema. Persistent bilateral bronchial debris. Bronchial and bronchiolar wall thickening in the right lower lobe with centrilobular groundglass nodules and solid nodules consistent with aspiration bronchiolitis. Small right pleural effusion and interval resolution of left pleural effusion.MEDIASTINUM AND HILA: No change in reference mediastinal lymph nodes, including a prevascular lymph node that is 6 mm and a right paratracheal lymph node that is 15 mm (series 3, image 42). Decreased small pericardial effusion.Tracheostomy tube is unchanged. Severe coronary calcifications.CHEST WALL: Right chest wall port. Degenerative arthritic changes of the thoracic spine.ABDOMEN: Absence of enteric contrast material markedly limits sensitivity for abdominal pathology. LIVER, BILIARY TRACT: No significant abnormality noted.SPLEEN: No significant abnormality noted.ADRENAL GLANDS: Necrotic/cystic left adrenal gland mass is not significantly changed.KIDNEYS, URETERS: No significant abnormality noted.PANCREAS: No significant abnormality noted.RETROPERITONEUM, LYMPH NODES: Calcified atherosclerotic calcification of the abdominal aorta. BOWEL, MESENTERY: Absence of enteric contrast material markedly limits sensitivity for GI pathology.G-tube is noted. Prominent loop of bowel in the central upper abdomen with surgical sutures likely reflects a post-surgical anastomosis. BONES, SOFT TISSUES: Pedicular screws at L4. Degenerative arthritic changes of the thoracolumbar spine. Superior endplate pathologic compression deformity of T2, unchanged from 9/2013.OTHER: No significant abnormality noted.
Stable examination with reference measurements provided. No new sites of disease. Left pleural effusion has resolved. Persistent aspiration bronchiolitis most severe in the right lower lobe.

76-year-old male with a history of bladder cancer. Status post TURBT. Evaluate for recurrence. ABDOMEN:LUNG BASES: Scattered pulmonary micronodules, appearing similar to the prior study. No new pulmonary nodules or masses are identified. There are marked coronary artery calcifications.LIVER, BILIARY TRACT: Subcentimeter nonenhancing hypodensity in the left lobe of the liver likely represents a cyst.

81 year-old male with hoarseness secondary to vocal cord tumor. The orbits are unremarkable. The paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. Limited view of the intracranial structure is unremarkable. The previously seen enhancing lesion in the anterior two third of the right true vocal cord now measures 10 x 6 x 5 mm (AP x TR x CC), compared to 19 x 7 x 7-mm on the prior. The laryngeal ventricle and paraglottic space are presered. The right anterior commissure is probably involved. The thyroid and arytenoid cartilages appear intact. The right false and left true and false vocal cords appear unremarkable. No lymphadenopathy is noted. There are excessive lymphoid tissues at the base of the tongue with partial effacement of the vallecula. There appears effacement of the right piriform sinus.
