Clinical question: Right buttock pain, bilateral leg pain, sport injury. Signs and symptoms: As above. Nonenhanced lumbar MRI: There is normal anatomical alignment of vertebral column.There is normal signal intensity of vertebral column. There is no detectable posttraumatic findings.T12 -- L1 is unremarkable.L1 -- L2 is unremarkable.L2 -- L3 is unremarkable.L3 -- L4 is unremarkable.L4 -- L5 demonstrate mild ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and unremarkable otherwise.L5 -- S1 demonstrate mild to moderate disk disease and loss of disk height, mild bilateral ligamentum flavum hypertrophy. There is a broad based central disk protrusion with resultant slight flattening and posterior displacement of thecal sac however without spinal stenosis or neural foraminal compromise. This finding is best appreciated on axial T2 series 701 image 6 and axial T2 series 901 image two.Perispinal soft tissues are unremarkable.
1.L5 -- S1 demonstrates mild-to-moderate disk disease, loss of disk height and a broad-based central disk protrusion without spinal stenosis or neural foraminal compromise as detailed.2.Unremarkable nonenhanced lumbar MRI otherwise.
