Reason: spinal stenosis History: pain and weakness 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 no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is disk desiccation and a disk bulge present at this level. There is loss of disk space height. There is ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and facet hypertrophy at this level there at the lateral recess and is is not effaced. There is mild narrowing of the neural foramina with mild encroachment of the exiting nerve roots.At L4-5 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is some ligamentum flavum hypertrophy associated with some mild facet hypertrophy. There is mild disk desiccation present at this level.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.Incidental note is made of gallstones in the gallbladder
1.There are degenerative changes present in the lower lumbar spine without significant compromise to lumbar spinal canal or neural foramina.2.Gallstones
