CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache with pain radiating to the RLE with numbness.
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 L4-L5 and L5-S1 facet joints show mild degenerative changes.
The lumbar vertebral bodies and the intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The remaining facet joints and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
The conus medullaris terminates at the 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 :

17.0 mm at L2-L3
16.0 mm at L3-L4
16.0 mm at L4-L5
13.0 mm at L5-S1.
Screening, T2 Weighted sagittal images of the cervico-dorsal spine do not reveal any significant feature of note.
IMPRESSION :
Mild facetal arthropathy at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels.
