Hi,
Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic.
The MRI suggests that your mother is having infection of the spine...affecting the vertebral bodies as well as the intervertebral discs. Some amount of collection is also there in the surrounding areas. All these suggests infection - most likely tubercular - of the spine. She should meet an orthopedician and take necessary treatment for the infection otherwise it will spread further.
Hope it sorts your problem and wishing your mother a speedy recovery.
Regards,
Dr. Pankaj Nagori
