 Partially imaged is a mild disc bulge at T11-T12 without significant spinal canal or neural foramen stenosis. There is multilevel lumbar disc desiccation. The vertebral column alignment is within normal limits. The vertebral body and disc space heights are preserved. The vertebral bone marrow signal is unremarkable. Partially imaged on the sagittal STIR sequence is 1 mm thick high signal intensity of spinal cord extending from above the plane of the image to the T11 level. The conus terminates at L1-L2. There is no evidence of intraspinal mass or abnormal enhancement. There is a subcentimeter presumed right renal cyst. The paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.L1-L2: There is no significant disc disease, spinal canal, or neural foramen narrowing.L2-L3: There is a mild disc bulge without significant spinal canal or neural foramen stenosis.L3-L4: There is a mild disc bulge as well as mild facet arthropathy and ligamentum flavum thickening without significant spinal canal or neural foramen stenosis. There is a small linear focus of T2 hyperintensity and enhancement within the left lateral disc compatible with an annular fissure.L4-L5: There is a mild disc bulge as well as mild facet arthropathy and ligamentum flavum thickening without significant spinal canal stenosis. There is resultant mild left neural foramen narrowing.L5-S1: There is no significant disc disease, spinal canal, or neural foramen narrowing.
1.No evidence of intraspinal or paraspinal abscess.2.Mild lumbar spine degenerative changes without significant spinal canal stenosis, including an annular fissure of the L3-L4 disc.3.Small partially imaged thoracic spinal cord central high signal intensity of uncertain etiology or significance. Cervical and thoracic spine MRI is suggested for further evaluation if there is concern for pathology.
