Numbness in right lower extremity Examination is mildly motion degraded. 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.Mild degenerative changes are seen, 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: No significant disc disease. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis. Mild facet arthropathy.L5-S1: There is disc desiccation with small right central disc extrusion. No significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis. Mild facet arthropathy.Postgadolinium images demonstrate no abnormal enhancement. Paraspinous soft tissues are within normal limits.
Mild degenerative changes in the lumbar spine with small disc extrusion at the L5-S1 level. There is no significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis at any level.
