Male, 34 years old, with low back pain. Evaluate T11-12 disc herniation. Spinal alignment is anatomic. There is very minimal anterior wedging of the T11, T12 and L1 vertebral bodies, likely within normal limits. Vertebral body height and morphology are otherwise unremarkable. No pathologic marrow replacement or marrow edema is seen.The visualized spinal cord demonstrates normal signal intensity and morphology. No epidural abnormalities are suspected.Small central disc protrusions are evident at T6-7 and T7-8 without cord impingement or spinal canal narrowing. A small right paracentral disc protrusion at T11-12 causes effacement of the right ventral thecal sac but no significant spinal canal stenosis. The neural foramina are patent throughout.
