Radiculopathy, lumbar region [M54.16], Reason for Study: ^Reason: eval for cause of lumbar radiculopathy History: LE fasciculations/spasms For the purpose of this dictation, the lowest visualized intervertebral disc space is labeled L5-S1. There is normal lumbar lordosis. The spine alignment is anatomic. The vertebral body height is preserved. The bone marrow and end plates demonstrate a normal MR appearance. The signal of the visualized cord is normal. The conus medullaris terminates at the T12-L1 level. The paraspinal soft tissues are unremarkable.Degenerative changes are specified by the intervertebral level as follows: T12-L1: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L1-L2: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L2-L3: Mild disc desiccation. No neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L3-L4: Minimal diffuse bulging of disc. Mild disc desiccation. No neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L4-L5: Minimal diffuse bulging of disc. No neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L5-S1: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis.
Minimal diffuse bulging of disc facet the level of L3-4 and L4-5 without evidence of spinal canal stenosis or neural foraminal stenosis. Otherwise unremarkable lumbar spine MRI.
