Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O backache radiating to the RLE 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 :

There is loss of water content of nearly all the lumbar intervertebral discs except the L3-L4 disc.

Small postero-central disc herniations are noted at the L2-L3, L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels.

A small, right paracentral disc herniation is noted at the L1-L2 level.

The lumbar vertebral bodies 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.









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

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

IMPRESSION :

1. Small postero-central disc herniations at the L2-L3, L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels.

2. A small, right paracentral disc herniation at the L1-L2 level.
