This coronal (from the front) CT reconstruction of the cervical spine was performed after contrast was injected into the lumbar subarachnoid space via a spinal tap. The contrast (white) outlines the spinal cord (long vertically oriented grey tubular structure) and aids in delineating disc herniation and the possible mass effect they may have on nerve roots and the spinal cord. This person has a congenitally small spinal canal in addition to degenerative changes with multiple disc herniations | |
