Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzr Shlmn / F / 30 yrs.
Resferred by : Dr. Abc Xyzhari.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O backache radiating to the LLE with paresthesias since 3 years.

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 sacralization of the L5 vertebra and the L4 vertebral body is as marked on the film.

There is Grade I spondylolisthesis of the L4 over the L5 vertebra with spondylolysis at L4 bilaterally (scans 102.2, 102.6). A resultant small pseudo-posterior disc bulge is noted at the L4-L5 level.

The lumbar vertebral bodies and the 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 D12-L1 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 :

14.0 mm at L1-L2
13.0 mm at L2-L3
15.0 mm at L3-L4
15.0 mm at L4-L5
10.0 mm at L5-S1.

IMPRESSION :

1. Sacralization of the L5 vertebra.

2. Grade I spondylolisthesis of the L4 over the L5 vertebra with spondylolysis at L4 bilaterally.

3. A resultant small pseudo-posterior disc bulge at the L4-L5 level.
