Name of the Patient : Abc XyzA. Bhanpuralmn / M / 30 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzapadia.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O low back pain radiating to the LLE since 2 months which has increased since 3 days.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the lumbo-sacral spine was performed using the following parameters :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.

OBSERVATION :

There is loss of normal lumbar lordosis and loss of water content of the L5-S1 intervertebral disc.

There is a fairly large left paracentral extruded disc with peridiscal osteophyte at the L5-S1 level with slight inferior migration of the disc fragment indenting the traversing left S1 nerve root. The left S1 nerve root is probably inflammed.

A minimal posterior disc bulge is noted at the L4-L5 level.

The lumbar vertebral bodies and the remaining intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.

The conus medullaris terminates at the L2 level and the thecal sac terminates at the S1 level.

The antero-posterior dimensions of the lumbar canal at the level of the intervertebral discs are as follows :

20.0 mm at L1-L2
20.0 mm at L2-L3
17.0 mm at L3-L4
15.0 mm at L4-L5
9.0 mm at L5-S1.

IMPRESSION

A fairly large left paracentral extruded disc with peridiscal osteophyte at the L5-S1 level with slight inferior migration of the disc fragment and indentation on the traversing left S1 nerve root.
