Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzna Kanlmn / F / 34 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyznna.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O backache radiating to the RLE with paresthesias 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 transepiphysial herniation of the L4-L5 intervertebral disc through the antero-superior margin of the L5 vertebral body and of the L3-L4 disc through the antero-superior margin of the L4 vertebral body suggestive of limbus vertebrae.

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

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 L1 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 :

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

IMPRESSION :

No significant abnormality is detected on this study.
