Female, 59 years old, with funicular pain bilaterally. Alignment is anatomic. Vertebral body morphology and signal characteristics are within normal limits. The visualized distal spinal cord, conus and cauda equina are unremarkable.L1-2: Unremarkable. L2-3: Unremarkable. L3-4: Mild laterally bulging disc. No significant generalized spinal canal stenosis. Mild bilateral foraminal narrowing. L4-5: Mild facet hypertrophy and ligamentum flavum thickening. Mild disc bulge and loss of disc T2 signal. No significant generalized spinal canal stenosis. Moderate right and mild left foraminal narrowing. L5-S1: Mild facet hypertrophy. No significant spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis. Incidental note is made of two left renal cystic lesions.
