Discs are normal.
Wedge compression fracture is seen at T4 with angulation at fracture site and
mild prosterior displacement.
Prolapsed disc is seen at T4/5 with compression on the cord at same level.
Posterior spinal colletion is noted posterior to the neural spine.
There is expansion of the spinal canal.
Intramedullary T2W high signal fluid collection is noted from C6 to the terminal cord.
Pre and para spinal soft tissues are normal.

this calls for evaluating your symptoms history,period, duration etc as fracture may be old or may be in recent years because of disease of the cord syryngomyelia, disc and cord implications, compression can be either event, late or old which have to be corelated to symptoms history.
determining the cause of collapse of vertebra,old or recent and extent of cord compression treatment may be from surgical decompression to more conservative lines and will vary to accomodate and evaluate relief possible
