 There is mild straightening of the normal lumbar lordosis which may be due to positioning. Alignment is otherwise within normal limits without sagittal spondylolisthesis. The vertebral body and disk heights are well-maintained. No worrisome focal marrow signal abnormality is appreciated. There is no pathological enhancement within the spine. The distal spinal cord and conus are within normal limits with the conus terminating at the mid L2 level.There is no significant disk bulge, herniation, spinal canal or foraminal stenosis within the lumbar spine. There is partial visualization of the known area of left piriform abscess, further detailed on the concurrent MRI of the pelvis.
No acute abnormalities or evidence of infection within the lumbar spine. Please see accompanying MRI of pelvis for further details regarding the pelvic abscess.
