Interpretation of outside lumbar spine MRI dated 6/7/2014 is requested. Spina bifida and tethered cord and burning sensation in her foot. Five lumbar type vertebral bodies are presumed to be present. Vertebral body heights are within normal limits. Alignment is within normal limits. Bone marrow signal is benign. The conus medullaris is normal in position at the lower L1 level.Mild degenerative changes are seen with mild disc desiccation at all levels, individual levels as described below:L1-L2: Minimal disc bulge and small Schmorl's node. Endplate marrow signal changes involving the superior endplate of L2 are on a degenerative basis. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L2-L3: No significant disc disease. Tiny Schmorl's node involving the anterior superior L3 endplate. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L3-L4: Tiny dorsal annular fissure. Otherwise no significant disc disease. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.L4-L5: Small left dorsal annular fissure and minimal disc bulge eccentric to the left. No spinal canal or right neural foraminal stenosis. Minimal left neural foraminal narrowing.L5-S1: No significant disc disease. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis.Paraspinous soft tissues are within normal limits.
Mild degenerative changes in the lumbar spine with minimal left L4-L5 neural foraminal narrowing. Otherwise no spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis in the remainder of the lumbar spine. No findings to suggest tethered cord.
