Ord Diag: M48.06 -SPINAL STENOSIS, LUMBAR
Page :1
MRI lumbar spine: Spin-echo sagittal, axial and coronal sequences were
obtained and a STIR sagittal sequence.
Patient history: Leg weakness and numb sensation in the legs.
The lower thoracic spinal cord and conus medullaris are normal.
T12-L1: There is no stenosis.
L1-2: Disc degeneration is identified. There is moderate right and mild
left facet arthrosis and no stenosis.
L2-3: Disc degeneration is present and a minimal retrolisthesis. There
is mild/moderate right and mild left facet arthrosis along with mild
thickening of the ligamenta flava. Mild/moderate central canal
stenosis
is identified and the stenosis is partially on a developmental basis.
There is mild left and mild/moderate right neural foraminal stenosis. A
small/moderate sized disc protrusion projects into and slightly
lateral
to the right neural foramen and causes minimal impingement of the
right
L2 nerve root immediately lateral to the neural foramen.
L3-4: Disc degeneration is present. Moderate/severe right and
left facet arthrosis is associated with thickening of the moderate
ligamenta
£lava. Moderate central canal stenosis is identified and the
stenosis
is partially on a development basis. There is mild/moderate left
foraminal stenosis and a small/moderate sized disc protrusion neural
projects
into and slightly lateral to the neural foramen and causes mild

impingement of the left L3 nerve root at the exit zone and slightly
lateral to the neural foramen. There is mild/moderate right neural
foraminal stenosis and a small/moderate sized disc protrusion projects
into and slightly lateral to the right neural foramen and causes
minimal impingement of the right L3 nerve root at the exit zone of the
neural foramen.
L4-5: Disc degeneration is present and mild posterior bulge of the
disc. There is a prominent fissure in the outer annulus adjacent to the
left neural foramen. Severe facet arthrosis is associated with an
approximate 2 mm anterolisthesis. There is thickening of the ligament
a
flava and severe stenosis of the central canal and the subarticular
recesses. The stenosis is partially on a developmental basis. There
is
a small collection of fluid located subjacent to the left ligamentum
flavum, medial to the left facet joint, and possibly a very small
collection of fluid in the right ligamentum flavum. The L5 nerve roots
exit the thecal sac approximately 7 mm caudad to the disc space. Severe
left neural foraminal stenosis causes impingement of the left L4 nerve
root. There is moderate right neural foraminal stenosis and a
small/moderate sized disc protrusion projects into the neural foramen
and impinges the right L4 nerve root.
LS-S1: Disc degeneration is present. Severe right and mild left facet
arthrosis is detected and mild/moderate central canal stenosis, that
partially on a developmental basis. There is compression of the is
S1
nerve roots, more prominent on the right, between the facets and the
disc, depicted in axial images 13-14 in series 6. Mild left and
moderate right neural foraminal stenosis is detected.

There is partial ankylosis of the anterosuperior compartment of the SI
joints.
Impression:
1. L1-2: Disc degeneration. Facet arthrosis.
2. L2-3: Disc degeneration. Mild/moderate central canal stenosis.
Small/moderate sized disc protrusion projects into and slightly lateral
to the right neural foramen and causes minimal impingement of the right
L2 nerve root immediately lateral to the neural foramen.
3. L3-4: Disc degeneration. Facet arthrosis. Moderate central canal
stenosis. Small/moderate sized disc protrusion projects into and

neural foramen. Small/moderate sized disc protrusion projects into

4. L4-5: Disc degeneration. Grade 1 degenerative anterolisthesis.

Severe left neural foraminal stenosis causes impingement of the left
