In the results of a lumbar MRI:
IRM LOMBAIRE SANS INJECTION RESULTAT
TECHNIQUE : Examens réalisé sur un appareil d'IRM de 0.4T APERTO LUCENT HITACHI. Pas d’injection de PDC RESULTAT :
- Pas d’anomalie suspecte de signal de la trame osseuse.
- Inflexion scoliotique sinistro convexe. Hauteur normale des vertèbres.
- Canal médullaire natif de calibre normal.
- Déshydratation et hyposignal du disque L3 L4.
- Debord discal L4 L5 postéro latéral gauche.
- Sténose foraminale significative, effet de masse sur le cordon médullaire avec cc radiculaire.
- Intensité et hauteur normales des autres disques.
- Pas de *fuseau vertébral*.
I can find hardly any references in French for this - http://ekladata.com/YvB9xXhEpT0-leukeccIe2D_VfU/Spondylodisc...
As "en fuseau" is "tapering", I am thinking that there may be a tapering of the vertebrae?

I've got it now
Rigler, Ude, and Hanson (1), in 1930, called attention to the typical changes produced by tuberculous abscess of the spine. They described the abscess as forming a soft-tissue shadow, spindle or fusiform in shape, symmetrical, and bilateral in extent, with a slight irregularity of its outer margins. They pointed out that the shadow of the abscess may be the first roentgen sign of tuberculosis, even preceding visible changes in the vertebral bodies.

Comment: "Thanks - I found back up on this site: http://ekladata.com/YvB9xXhEpT0-leukeccIe2D_VfU/Spondylodiscite-infectieuse.pdf
L’apparition d’un fuseau vertébral finit de
caractériser l’aspect typique de spondylodiscite. Le fuseau est la
conséquence d’un abcès ou d’un épaississement des parties
molles.
It is odd that there is such an obscure term on a normal medical report"

: I'm not sure about this. It gets only a couple of relevant hits - though to be fair, and as Elizabeth says, the French gets almost none either.

[para-] vertebral spindle
vertebral spindle cell cancer,
https://www.havanese.org/files/2012HavHealthSurvey.pdf
An unusual diagnosis of paravertebral lesions:
A plain chest radiograph showed a paravertebral spindle high density shadow at the thoracic 8
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/030006052093697...
This case was unusual due to the paravertebral location of the tumor and its divergent differentiation.
The fatty component was composed of mature anisocytic adipocytes arranged in lobules, with rare spindle cells within their septa that displayed large hyperchromatic nuclei, a morphological finding usually observed in low-grade ALN/WDL (Figure 3(a)).

: it happens that two people post at around the same time but frankly, I find your answer to Drmanu 49 quite condescending, even though his the links don't work (a constant problem with Proz) Why not be a bit more friendly?

I am sorry if my answer to Dr. Manu 49 seems condescending to you. A constant problem here in Proz is that colleagues get a bit 'akward' because they think you are copying their answers. I didn't know that the links didn't work I was talking about my own
