Severe low back pain. The vertebral alignment is anatomic accounting for minimal straightening which may relate to position. The vertebral bodies are preserved in height. The vertebral bone marrow signal is unremarkable. There is mild degenerative lumbar spondylosis, including a left L2-L3 extraforaminal protrusion that seems to abut the exiting nerve roots. There is also a slight disc bulge at L5-S1, but no significant spinal canal or foraminal stenosis at any of the lumbar spine levels. There is partial loss of disc T2 signal at L2-L3, L5-S1 and to a lesser extent L3-L4. There is minimal disc height loss at L2-L3. The vertebral body heights are preserved. The tip of the conus medullaris is at the upper L2 level and appears to be unremarkable. There is a small amount of fat signal along the filum terminale at L4 and L5 levels. There are small T2 hypointense lesions within the uterus.
1. Mild degenerative lumbar spondylosis, including a left L2-L3 extraforaminal protrusion that seems to abut the exiting nerve roots, but no significant spinal canal or foraminal stenosis otherwise.2. Small filar fibrolipoma.3. Small probable uterine fibroids.I personally reviewed the Images and/or procedure with the Resident/Fellow and agree with this report.
