English term or phrase: The specialists found a fluid around the spine.
I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from American English into Latin American Spanish.

It's a translation about Osteoarthritis. Is okay to translate it as "Los especialistas encontraron un fluido alrededor de la espina dorsal?

Here is the full paragraph for your review:

The spine doctors took a look to the MRI Images. The specialists found a fluid around the spine that was showed by the images. They needed to treat this fluid and the arthritis.

Explanation:
Aquí, la descripción del paciente resulta de nuevo frustrantemente imprecisa, aunque por contexto más amplio diría alude a edema vertebral (vertebral edema).

Sometimes, painful vertebral edema can occur in non- fractured vertebra, related to abnormal compression on the vertebral body.

Y de nuevo también, me plantearía incluir una traducción más menos literal, de sentido (líquido vertebral / ¿líquido alrededor de las vértebras? ¿De la columna?) incluyendo una nota o un paréntesis con su probable interpretación formal (edema vertebral).
