15 years Female (DOB:9/2/2000)Reason: eval for spondylolysis History: lpb worth sports for months, volleyballPROVIDER/ATTENDING NAME: HOLLY JOAN BENJAMIN HOLLY JOAN BENJAMIN Five nonrib-bearing lumbar type vertebral bodies are presumed to be present which are appropriate in overall alignment and height. It appears that L5 is sacralized and there is a formed disc at the lumbosacral junction. The conus medullaris on sagittal imaging is grossly intact.At L5-S1 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L4-5 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is mild disc desiccation at this level associated with loss of disc space height and a mild disc bulgeAt L3-4 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L2-3 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L1-2 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.
1.Please note that based on the premise that all lumbar vertebrae are nonrib-bearing vertebrae, L5 is a transitional vertebra and is sacralized.2.Based on the above enumeration there is L4-5 disc bulge without significant compromise to the spinal canal or exiting nerve roots.
