Chronic low back pain without radiculopathy, status post weightlifting injury. Study is technically limited due to patient's body habitus. Five lumbar type vertebral bodies are presumed to be present. Lumbar vertebral body heights are within normal limits. Minimal anterior wedging at the T11 level may be physiologic or related to remote trauma. There is focal fatty endplate marrow signal changes involving the anterior inferior endplate of T11. Alignment is within normal limits. Bone marrow signal is benign. The conus medullaris is normal in position. Individual levels, as described below:L1-L2: No significant disc disease. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L2-L3: No significant disc disease. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L3-L4: No significant disc disease. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L4-L5: Disc desiccation without herniation. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L5-S1: No significant disc disease. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.Paraspinous soft tissues are within normal limits.
1. There is developmental narrowing of the lumbar spinal canal without evidence of disc herniation or significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis at any level. 2. Minimal anterior wedging involving the T11 vertebral body which may be physiologic or related to remote trauma. No vertebral body edema to suggest recent compression fracture. Mild degenerative endplate marrow signal changes involving the T11 inferior endplate are noted.3. Technically limited study due to patient's body habitus.
