At the L1-L2 level. there is no evidence of canal stenosis or foraminal narrowing.
At the L2-L3 level above described subluxation with disc bulge asymmetric to the right is noted
causing mild right foraminal narrowing and mild bilateral lateral recess stenosis without significant
central canal stenosis or foraminal narrowing. Mild facet changes are present.
At the L3-L4 level. disc bulge with facet changes are present causing mild bilateral foramina! narrowinc
and mild canal stenosis.
At the L4-L5 level, above described subluxation with disc bulge and osteophyte asymmetric to the left
is noted with facet changes causing severe left and moderate right foraminal narrowing. Disc bulge
with ligamentous thickening is present causing severe central canal stenosis.
At the 1.5-S1 level. osteophyte asymmetric to the right with facet changes are present causing
moderate right foraminal narrowing as well as moderate left and severe right lateral recess stenosis.
No significant left foraminal narrowing is present.
The conus is normal shape and position.
There is no evidence of prevertebral or paraspinal soft tissue abnormality.
