Right lower extremity radiculopathy Five lumbar type vertebral bodies are presumed to be present. Vertebral body heights are within normal limits. Alignment is within normal limits. Bone marrow signal is benign. The conus medullaris is normal in position.Multilevel degenerative changes are seen, as described below:L1-L2: Minimal disk bulge. No significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L2-L3: Minimal disk bulge with component of left foraminal disk protrusion. There is mild left neural foraminal stenosis. No spinal canal or right neural foraminal stenosis.L3-L4: Mild disk bulge and facet arthropathy with mild left and minimal right foraminal narrowing. No significant spinal canal stenosis.L4-L5: Mild disc bulge with left far lateral protrusion. There is minimal bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. There is contact of the left L4 nerve root with the disc extraforaminally. No significant spinal canal stenosis. Mild facet arthropathy.L5-S1: Mild disc bulge with right foraminal protrusion. There is mild to moderate right foraminal narrowing and possible impingement of the right L5 nerve root. There is mild left foraminal narrowing. No significant spinal canal stenosis. Bilateral facet arthropathy.Paraspinous soft tissues are within normal limits.
Mild degenerative changes in the lumbar spine. There is a disc bulge at L5-S1 with right foraminal disc protrusion. There is resulting mild to moderate right L5-S1 neural foraminal stenosis and possible impingement of the exiting right L5 nerve root. Additional levels as detailed above.No significant spinal canal stenosis at any level.
