Female, 65 years old, with bilateral lower extremity weakness. No evidence of acute cord compression is seen. Please note that artifact prevents accurate assessment of spinal cord signal characteristics. There is a mild scoliotic curvature to the spine. Vertebral body heights are preserved. Mild disc degeneration is evident in the cervical spine with more advanced degeneration in the lumbar spine particularly at L4-5. There is likely mild to moderate spinal canal stenosis and foraminal narrowing at this level.
