55 years Female (DOB:12/27/1960)Reason: back pain History: back painPROVIDER/ATTENDING NAME: DAVID M DICKERSON DAVID M DICKERSON Five lumbar type vertebral bodies are presumed to be present which are appropriate in overall height. The conus medullaris on sagittal imaging is grossly intact. There is mild disc desiccation at L3-4 and L4-5.The patient status post lumbar spine surgery with pedicle screws at L5 and S1 associated with interconnecting rods. There is a disc prosthesis present at L5-S1 eccentric to the right side.At L5-S1 there is mild anterior subluxation of L5 on S1. There is disc desiccation and a mild disc bulge at this level. The neural foramina are obscured by metal artifact at this level. There appears to be some encroachment of the right-sided exiting nerve roots.At L4-5 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At 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.The patient is status post L5-S1 surgery with posterior and anterior fusion. There is mild anterior subluxation of L5 on S1 and possible encroachment of the right-sided exiting nerve roots within the neural foramen. The neural foramina are not well evaluated this level due to metal artifact.
