Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzp Slmn / M / 17 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzpadia / Dr. Abc Xyzgrawal.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O low back pain and in the right hip region since 3-4 months.
Patient slipped prior to this.

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 :

The L5 vertebral body is as marked on the film.

There is loss of water content of the lower dorsal and upper lumbar intervertebral discs.

A small postero-central protruded disc with peridiscal osteophyte is noted at the D11-D12 level, minimally indenting the dural theca and the dorsal spinal cord anteriorly.

The lower dorsal spinal cord however, shows normal signal intensity.

Schmorls node is noted in the L3 vertebral body.







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 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
15.0 mm at L4-L5
16.0 mm at L5-S1.

The T1 Weighted coronal images of the S. I. joints do not reveal any significant feature of note.

IMPRESSION :

A small postero-central protruded disc with peridiscal osteophyte at the D11-D12 level.
