Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Your MRI report suggests a mass lesion in the lower part of spinal cord. The most likely causes of a mass like this could be a tumor. In some cases, it may be due to infection. This mass is pressing on your nerves of spinal cord, leading to weakness of legs. This needs urgent evaluation by a neurosurgeon, who may advise you a surgery. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor.
