Disease of intestine, unspecified [K63.9] / Enteropathic arthropathies, unspecified site [M07.60], Reason for Study: ^Reason: back pain History: stiffness, IBD arthropathy. For the purpose of this dictation, the lowest visualized intervertebral disc space is labeled L5-S1. There is a central broad-based disc protrusion which abuts thecal sac at the level of L5-S1. Disc desiccation is also demonstrated.There is normal lumbar lordosis. The spine alignment is anatomic. The vertebral body height is preserved. The bone marrow and end plates demonstrate a normal MR appearance. The signal of the visualized cord is normal. The conus medullaris terminates at the T12-L1 level. Degenerative changes are specified by the intervertebral level as follows: T12-L1: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L1-L2: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L2-L3: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L3-L4: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L4-L5: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L5-S1: Broad based central disc protrusion which abuts thecal sac. No definitive evidence of spinal canal stenosis or neuroforaminal stenosis. Disc dessication is seen.
1. Broad based central disc protrusion with disc dessication at the level of L5S1 without spinal canal stenosis.2. Otherwise unremarkable.
