What Could Be The Grey Spots Behind Spinal Cord In The MRI Report?

I recently had an mri done on my back. Everything looked good but the Dr was concerned because he found some grey spots behind the spinal cord in my back. He said that he had never seen this before. What could this be? Should I have a major concern?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your complaints, however, it is not clear what your doctor is referring to. It would be helpful if you can upload the detailed MRI report of the spine.

"Grey spots" behind the spinal cord is like a layman's term and is not specific for any disease.

It would also help if you let us know what your symptoms are, and why the MRI was done in your case.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
