CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O low backache since 1 year.

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 loss of water content of the L1-L2 intervertebral disc with reduction in height.

There is a small, left paracentral disc herniation at the L5-S1 level.

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

A small, right paracentral protruded disc with peridiscal osteophyte is noted at the L1-L2 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 L1-L2 level and the thecal sac terminates at the S2 level.
