27 years Male (DOB:7/2/1988)Reason: disc bulge causing S1 compression History: worsening leg painPROVIDER/ATTENDING NAME: TARIQ MUSLIM MALIK TARIQ MUSLIM MALIK Five lumbar type vertebral bodies are presumed to be present which are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The conus medullaris on sagittal imaging is grossly intact.At L5-S1 there is a left paramedian broad-based disc protrusion which mildly encroaches on the nerve roots at the left lateral recess more than the right lateral recess. This has not changed substantially compared to the previous exam. There is disc desiccation present at this level and loss of disc space height.At L4-5 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L3-4 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L2-3 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L1-2 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.
Left paramedian broad-based disc protrusion at L5-S1 mildly encroaches on the nerve roots at the left lateral recess. To a lesser degree there some minor encroachment of the nerve roots at the right lateral recess at this level. Compared to the exam from August this does not appear to have changed substantially.
