Lumbago with sciatica, left side [M54.42] / Muscle weakness (generalized) [M62.81] / Pain, unspecified [R52], Reason for Study: ^Reason: eval for lumbar spine pathology History: lower back pain and bilat leg pain 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 L1-L2 level. Degenerative changes are specified by the intervertebral level as follows: T12-L1: There is central to right broad based disc protrusion, unchanged since prior scan. Disc dessication is seen, unchanged. No spinal stenosis. L1-L2: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L2-L3: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L3-L4: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L4-L5: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. L5-S1: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis.
1. Unchanged central to right broad based disc protrusion with disc dessication at the level of T12-L1.2. Otherwise unremarkable.
