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

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O low back pain radiating to the LLE since 3-4 years which has increased since 1 week.

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 L5-S1 disc.

There is a right paracentral disc herniation with a peridiscal osteophyte at the L5-S1 level, with indentation on the traversing right S1 nerve root.

There is a postero-central and right postero-lateral disc herniation with a peridiscal osteophyte at the L4-L5 level with indentation upon the thecal sac and slight right neural foraminal narrowing.

Slight facetal hypertrophy is noted at the L5-S1 level.

The lumbar vertebral bodies and the remaining 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-L2 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 :

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

IMPRESSION :

1. A right paracentral disc herniation with a peridiscal osteophyte at the L5-S1 level, with indentation on the traversing right S1 nerve root.

2. A postero-central and right postero-lateral disc herniation with a peridiscal osteophyte at the L4-L5 level.
