 Images are limited by patient motion, resulting in misregistration of axial and sagittal images. There is normal lumbar lordosis. Rounded areas of bright T1 and T2 signal is seen in the vertebral bodies of L2 and L5, likely representing hemangiomas. The conus medullaris tip is at the lower limits of normal, at L2-L3. There is no evidence of fatty filum.The partially visualized T11-T12 disc space demonstrates mild desiccation of the disc.The level of T12-L1 demonstrates normal height of the disc with mild desiccation. There is no evidence of disc herniation. No compromise of the neural foramina or the nerve roots.The level of L1-L2 demonstrates normal height of the disc with no evidence of disc herniation. No compromise of the neural foramina or the nerve roots. There is ligamentum flavum thickening with facet hypertrophy.The level of L2-L3 demonstrates normal height of the disc with no evidence of disc herniation. No compromise of the neural foramina or the nerve roots. There is ligamentum flavum thickening with facet hypertrophy.The level of L3-L4 demonstrates right foraminal lateral disc extrusion with possible sequestered disc material that migrates 4 mm cranially. There is impingement of the disc material on the exiting right L3 nerve root. There is mild spinal stenosis with moderate right foraminal stenosis. There is ligamentum flavum thickening with facet hypertrophy.The level of L4-L5 demonstrates 3 mm of minimal anterolisthesis grade 1 of L4 on L5 with uncovering of the disc. There is a minimal disc bulge. There is mild narrowing and desiccation of the disc. There is a moderate spinal stenosis. There is ligamentum flavum thickening with facet hypertrophy.The level of L5-S1 demonstrates minimal retrolisthesis of L5 on S1. Minimal shallow left foraminal disc protrusion seen.A dorsally projecting synovial cyst is seen emanating from the left facet of L5-S1. There is ligamentum flavum thickening with facet hypertrophy.
1. At the level of L3-L4 there is a right foraminal lateral disc extrusion with possible sequestered disc material that migrates 4 mm cranially. There is impingement of the disc material on the exiting nerve of right L3. There is mild spinal stenosis with a moderate degree of foraminal stenosis.2. At the level of L4-L5 there is a moderate spinal stenosis. Minimal disc bulge, narrowing of the disc space, and disc desiccation is visualized at this level. 3. Minimal shallow left foraminal disc protrusion is visualized at the level of L5-S1.
