Left leg pain, low back pain 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. There is mild generalized facet arthropathy in the lumbar spine.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: No significant disc disease. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L4-L5: No significant disc disease. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L5-S1: There is a central and left paracentral disc protrusion which effaces the left lateral recess and may be impinging on the left S1 nerve root. There is also contact of the right S1 nerve root. There is mild central canal narrowing at this level. No significant neural foraminal narrowing.Paraspinous soft tissues are within normal limits.
1. Disc protrusion at the L5-S1 level with effacement of the left lateral recess and suspected impingement of the left S1 nerve root.2. Remainder of the lumbar levels are unremarkable. Neural foramina are patent.
