    Mr. Iqbal, age 56, presented with a history of backache and pain radiating to the lower limb. An MRI of the lumbar spine found straightening of the lumbar spine likely due to muscle spasm. There was multilevel disc desiccation and bulge at L4/L5 and L5/S1 indenting the ventral thecal sac and narrowing the neural foramina. A central disc extrusion was seen at L2/L3 protruding 9mm and causing lateral recess and thecal sac stenosis, resulting in cauda equina compression. No other abnormalities were noted.

    MR No 210921-303368305 Scan Date 21-Sep-2021

    Name MR IQBAL Imaging No IMG-3014226035


    Age 56Y Gender Male
    MRI LUMBAR SPINE (SCREENING)
    CLINICAL INDICATION:
    History of backache, pain radiating towards lower limb.

    STUDY PROTOCOL:
    Only T2-weighted axial and sagittal images of the lumbar spine were carried out without intravenous
    contrast administration.

    FINDINGS:
    Straightening of the lumbar spine is likely due to muscle spasm.

    Multilevel disc dessication dehydration with ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and facet joint
    arthrosis predominantly in the lower lumbar spine

    eccentric L4/5 disc bulge indenting the ventral thecal sac narrowing left neural foramina,

    eccentric L5/S1 disc bulge indenting the ventral thecal sac narrowing neural foramina,
    compressing exiting nerve roots more marked on left side. .

    L2/3 Central disc extrusion seen protruding 9mm beyond the vertebral margins with inferior
    migration causing lateral recess and thecal sac stenosis resulting in cauda equina compression

    No disc degeneration or disc protrusion at any other level compressing thecal or foramina.
    Vertebral height and alignment is normal.
    Other Intervertebral discs return normal signal intensity.
    Spinal cord is normal in signal characteristics and morphology.
    Para spinal areas are unremarkable bilaterally.
    Conus terminate at the level of L1.

    Note:- The screening examination is a limited study, performed on special request of the physician to rule
    out major pathologies. However, it does not guarantee absence of the lesion or disease.
