Referred by : Dr. Abc XyzV. Shah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O backache with pain radiating to the LLE with numbness since 1 month.

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 water content of the L5-S1 intervertebral disc.

A postero-central and left paracentral disc herniation with peridiscal osteophytes is noted at the L5-S1 level with minimal indentation on the traversing left S1 nerve root.

A probable conjoint right L5 and S1 nerve root is noted.

A minimal posterior disc bulge is seen 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 S2 level.

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

19.0 mm at L1-L2
19.0 mm at L2-L3
17.0 mm at L3-L4
14.0 mm at L4-L5
9.0 mm at L5-S1.

IMPRESSION :

1. A postero-central and left paracentral disc herniation with peridiscal osteophytes at the L5-S1 level with minimal indentation on the traversing left S1 nerve root.

2. A probable conjoint right L5 and S1 nerve root.
