Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
A shadow on MRI spine can mean many conditions. It needs to be evaluated in concurrence with her clinical symptoms and past medical history. It is also important to know the size and location with imaging characteristics to narrow down to a specific condition. May I request you to please upload the reports and if possible images, so that I can give a better interpretation and answer your query in detail.
