Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzissa Muklmn / F / 35 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzapadia.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O backache with radiation of pain to the LLE with paresthesias.

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 :

Mild posterior disc bulges are noted at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels.

The right L4-L5 facet joint shows degenerative changes.

The lumbar vertebral bodies and the 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 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 :

18.0 mm at L1-L2
18.0 mm at L2-L3
17.0 mm at L3-L4
16.0 mm at L4-L5
14.0 mm at L5-S1.



IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of :

1. Mild posterior disc bulges at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels.

2. Facetal arthropathy on the right side at the L4-L5 level.
