The conus medullaris on sagittal imaging is grossly intact.At L5-S1 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L4-5 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is a disc bulge present this level associated disc desiccation and loss of disc space height. There is some partial effacement of the fat at the lateral recess bilaterally at this level.At L3-4 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is loss of disc space height, disc desiccation as well as a disc bulge at this level.At L2-3 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is loss of disc space height, disc desiccation as well as a disc bulge at this level.At L1-2 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.
