📌 For a patient with an acute compression fracture, why is the disc hyperintense on T2WI?

✨ Join the channel to enjoy the benefits! 🚀    / @mskmri   ✅Possible Causes of T2 Hyperintensity in the L1-2 Disc: Reactive Edema & Inflammation – Increased water content due to endplate trauma. Mechanical Stress & Microtears – Micro-injuries within the disc leading to fluid accumulation. Endplate Damage & Nutrient Disruption – Impaired disc nutrition alters hydration. Hematoma Formation (Acute Stage) – Possible hemorrhagic component in the disc. Adjacent Bone Marrow Edema Effect – Inflammatory diffusion from the fractured vertebra. ✅Key Differentiation Points: Traumatic vs. Degenerative: Unlike degenerative changes, traumatic disc edema is focal, acute, and adjacent to the fracture. Infectious vs. Traumatic: No significant enhancement or disc space narrowing suggests trauma over infection. Neoplastic vs. Traumatic: No mass effect, preserved disc morphology, and isolated findings favor trauma over neoplasm. #vertebralFracture, #discEdema, #spinalTrauma, #MRIfindings, #T2hyperintensity, #acuteCompression, #endplateInjury, #discPathology, #traumaticChanges, #spinalImaging "Visualizing MSK Radiology: A Practical Guide to Radiology Mastery" © 2022 MSK MRI Jee Eun Lee All Rights Reserved.
