Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O backache with fever since 7-8 months.

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 slight scoliosis of the lumbar spine with slight convexity to the right side.

A small, postero-central disc protrusion is noted at the L5-S1 level. Slight facetal hypertrophy is also noted at this level.

Focal fatty marrow changes are noted in the L4 and L5 vertebral bodies.

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

The conus medullaris terminates at the L1-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 :

17.0 mm at L1-L2
16.0 mm at L2-L3
17.0 mm at L3-L4
15.0 mm at L4-L5
12.0 mm at L5-S1.

IMPRESSION :

1. Slight scoliosis of the lumbar spine with slight convexity to the right side.

2. A small, postero-central disc protrusion at the L5-S1 level with slight facetal hypertrophy at this level.
