Could Dr Interpert These Mri Results For Me Please Posted: 11-03-07 14:02pm
There is preserved lumbar lordosis seen.
There is minimal diffuse disc desiccation
noted. The distal spinal cord appears
unremarkable.
At the L5-S1 level no disc abnormality is
seen no neural foraminal narrowing is
noted. At the L4-L5 level no focal disc
abnormality is seen. At the L3-L4 level
minimal circumferential disc bulging
causes slight thecal impression. The right
neuroforamen demonstrates mild compromise
inferiorly by an apparent rightward disc
protrusion in the neuroforamen. The left
L3 nerual foramen is unaffected. At the
L2-L3 and L1-L2 levels no focal disc
sbnormality is seen. The facet joints at
L4-L5, and to some extent at L3-L4 and
L5-S1 levels demonstrate some degenerative
arthritic changes, minial synovial
thickening is seen at hte L3-L4 level. No
synovial cyst or compromis of the spinal
canal is seen. When comparing to previous
exam the enhancement at the facet joints,
synovial fullnes is unchanged.
Conclusion: At the L3-L4 level a right
neural foraminal protrusion compromises
mildly the right L3 neural foramen without
frank neural impingement. Minimal L3-L4
disc bulging is otherwise seen. Facet
degenerative changes are seen at lower
lumbar levels not significantly advanced

I will give it ago but i am not a doctor
but i did a first aid coarse in the boy
scouts.
"There is preserved lumbar lordosis seen."
this means that the bottom
of your spine has excessive curvature
convex at the front of your spine.
"There is minimal diffuse disc desiccation
noted,"
This means that your disks
have lost some of there volume (height)
due to drying out.
First two bottom disks are ok the next
disk up L3-L4 there is a bulging disk that
is protruding into the spinal canal, and
touching the membrane that surrounds the
spinal cord, it is also protruding into
the neuroforamen. (a hole in the vertebrae
that nerves coarse out of)
The next two disks up are ok.
The facet joints of you 3 bottom vertebra
(small joints at the back of your vertebra
that allow them to move upon one another)
show some arthritic changes with minimal
synovial thickening, the synovial tissues
surround a joint and produce the fluid
that lubricates the joint. These changes
have not advanced significantly since your
last MRI.
" At the L3-L4 level a right neural
foraminal protrusion compromises mildly
the right L3 neural foramen without frank
neural impingement."
This means that all though the disk is
bulging into the hole that the nerves
coarse out of in the vertebra, it is not
touching the nerves.
