Lumbar 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 disc bulge. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L2-L3: Minimal disc bulge without significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L3-L4: Mild disc bulge with mild to moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. No spinal canal stenosis.L4-L5: There is disc bulge and moderate bilateral facet arthropathy. No spinal canal stenosis. There is moderate bilateral neural foraminal stenosis. L5-S1: Minimal disc bulge. No spinal canal stenosis. No significant neural foraminal stenosis. Moderate bilateral facet arthropathy.Paraspinous soft tissues are within normal limits.
Mild multilevel degenerative changes in the lumbar spine with mild disc bulges. There is up to moderate narrowing of the neural foramina at the L4-L5 level which may be impinging on the L4 nerve roots. Minimal degenerative changes at additional levels as described above. There is no spinal canal stenosis at any level.
