Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz lmn / F / 37 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc XyzV. Shah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O backache with radicular pain to BLE and paresthesias since 1 year.
H/O fall from steps 4 months back.

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 L1 vertebral body is as marked on the film.

Minimal posterior disc bulges are noted at the L3-L4 and L4-L5 levels.

Type I degenerative changes are seen in the antero-superior surface of the L3 vertebra.

Schmorls nodes are seen in the inferior surface of the D12 and L1 vertebrae.

The rest of 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.

Fat is noted in the filum terminale over the L1 to L3 vertebral levels.
..2/.




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

20.0 mm at L1-L2
20.0 mm at L2-L3
19.0 mm at L3-L4
14.0 mm at L4-L5
13.0 mm at L5-S1.

IMPRESSION :

No significant abnormality is detected on this study.
