Referral Dr SOLWEZI GERNERAL
MRI LUMBOSACRAL SPINE

Protocol: Sagittal and Axial T1 and T2 weighted sequences. Coronal STIR sequence.

OBSERVATIONS:

Diffuse disc dehydration changes seen at L4-L5 and L5-S1 intervertebral levels
of LS spine.

Right far lateral disc bulge causing mild ventral thecal sac compression and
mild spinal canal narrowing augmented by bilateral ligamentum flavum
hypertrophy seen L5-S1 level. This disc bulge also causes severe right lateral
recess and exiting neural foramina narrowing along with mild compression of
right exiting and traversing nerve roots seen at this same level.

Mild posterocentral disc bulge causing mild ventral thecal sac compression
and mild spinal canal narrowing augmented by bilateral ligamentum flavum
hypertrophy seen at L4-L5 level. Mild to moderate bilateral lateral recess and
exiting neural foramina narrowing seen at this same level.

Mild bilateral facetal arthropathic changes seen at L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels.

Normal anatomical configuration and signal intensity of the spinal cord is noted. The
conus medullaris, nerve roots of cauda equina & rest of the CSF subarachnoid
spaces appear normal.

There is no evidence of any pre and paravertebral soft tissue abnormality.

Spinal canal measurements at intervertebral levels.

L1-L2 -13 mm
L2-L3 -12 mm
