Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz lmn / F / 29 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyz Sonawane.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache with pain radiating to the LLE and 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 the L4-L5 and L5-S1 intervertebral discs.
There is a left paracentral disc herniation with peridiscal osteophyte at the L4-L5 level, indenting the traversing left L5 nerve root. Slight facetal hypertrophy is noted at this level.
A small left paracentral disc herniation is noted at the L3-L4 level, indenting the left L4 nerve root.
A small posterior disc bulge 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.
Scan-00000
The conus medullaris terminates at the D12-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 :
18.0 mm at L1-L2
18.0 mm at L2-L3
16.0 mm at L3-L4
14.0 mm at L4-L5
12.0 mm at L5-S1.
IMPRESSION :
1. A left paracentral disc herniation with peridiscal osteophyte at the L4-L5 level, indenting the traversing left L5 nerve root.
2. A small left paracentral disc herniation at the L3-L4 level, indenting the left L4 nerve root.
