Left leg numbness and weakness. Assess for spinal canal stenosis. There are 5 lumbar-type, ribless vertebrae. The vertebral bodies are preserved in height. There is no suspicious osseous lesion. Fat-containing lesion in T12 vertebral body is compatible with a hemangioma. Disc heights are preserved. There is loss of T2 signal at L5-S1 disc associated with a small right central protrusion and annular fissure. There is no significant spinal canal stenosis. There is mild facet arthropathy at L4-L5 and L5-S1, associated with very mild bilateral, left relatively worse than right, L5-S1 neural foraminal stenoses. The conus medullaris is unremarkable. The tip of the conus is at the lower L1 level which is normal.
1.Mild degenerative changes in the lower lumbar spine. Facet arthropathy associated with very mild left more than right L5-S1 neural foraminal stenoses. 2.There is no significant spinal canal stenosis.
