What Could Be Discoloration In Spine Resulted From MRI ?
My mother just had an MRI; she had alot of back pain and thought she d get it checked out. They found discoloration (darkened brown areas) from what was described in areas down her spine. She was instructed to get a CAT which she s doing. I m desperate to know what the possibilities of this could be? Any help is much appreciated, thanks, Mike
Welcome to Healthcare Magic
There can be many reasons for back pain and the MRI picture you presented. It could be hemangioma in the vertebral column compression the spinal cord/nerves causing pain. It can also be cancer which has spread to spine from source elsewhere. You need to give full history of your mother. Does she have any other problem. Her age, any bleeding from vagina, any breast problems, abdominal problems as well.
