52 y/o AAF s/p MVA several weeks ago. Lower extremity paresthesias and rectal anesthesia 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 with T1 hyperintense lesion involving the T12 vertebral body compatible with focal fat or hemangioma. The conus medullaris is normal in position.Minimal degenerative changes are seen with mild multilevel disc desiccation. 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: Minimal disc bulge. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis. Mild bilateral facet arthropathy.L4-L5: Mild disc bulge. There is minimal bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. No spinal canal stenosis. Mild facet arthropathy.L5-S1: No significant disc disease. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis. Bilateral facet arthropathy.Paraspinous soft tissues are within normal limits. Small renal cysts incidentally noted.
1. Mild degenerative changes in the lumbar spine without significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis at any level to explain the patient's symptoms.2. No evidence of traumatic compression fracture or spinal hematoma.
