Constipation, rule out tethered cord Five lumbar type vertebral bodies are presumed to be present. Vertebral body heights are within normal limits. Alignment is within normal limits. Bone marrow signal is benign. The conus medullaris is normal in position at the lower L1 level. Prone images are motion degraded but do suggest appropriate ventral motion of the conus and cauda equina nerve roots. No evidence of filar lipoma or other lesions within the lumbar spinal canal.No significant disc disease. There is diffuse congenital narrowing of the lumbar spinal canal. There is otherwise no significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis at any level. Paraspinous soft tissues are within normal limits.
1. No findings to suggest tethered cord.2. Lumbar spinal canal appears narrow on a congenital basis but demonstrates no significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.
