BILATERAL PARTIAL SACRALIZATION AT L5 SEGMENT WITH PSEUDOARTHROSIS AT THE L5 TRANSVERSE PROCESS TO THE ALAE OF THE SACRUM.
Sacralization unusual fusion of the fifth lumbar vertebra with the first segment of the sacrum (a triangular bone at the base of the spine that joins to a hip bone on each side and forms part of the pelvis.).

C3-4, C4-5 SLIGHT DECREASE IN SIGNAL INTENSITY Start here…the MRI emits signal that is read by intensity and in the case of an MRI it is a relative quantity.
WITH BROAD BASED BULGING (NO SIGNIFICANT CORD OR ROOT COMPRESSION) They are saying that the disk is pooched out in a manner that is near 360 degrees but it does not push up against the spinal cord or the nerves that exit the cord.

C5-6 SLIGHT DECREASE IN SIGNAL INTENSITY A BROAD BASED DISC OSTEOPHYTE PROTRUSION MEASURING SEVERAL MM INDENTING THE DURAL SAC
This is describing a bone spur (OSTEOPHYTE) that had grown into the central spinal column enough to push on the outer covering of the spinal cord(dural sac).

T1-7 MILD FACET HYPERTROPHY Hypertrophy: the enlargement or overgrowth of an organ or part due to an increase in size of its constituent cells. This is usually not bone but tissue such as scar tissue. A facet is the joint that forms the outlet for the nerves coming off the spinal cord.

T8-9 3MM RIGHT PARACENTRAL DISC EXTRUSION WHICH MILDLY INDENTS THE RIGHT ANTERIOR ASPECT OF THE SPINAL CORD The radiologist is noting that the disc at this level pushes out enough that it is actually pushing on the spinal cord.

T6-7 THROUGH T11-12 THERE ARE MULTI LEVEL MILD-MODERATE DEGENERATIVE DISC CHANGES EXACERBATED BY ENDPLATE SCHMOLS NODES AND END PLATE IRREGULARITY.
I’m fuzzy on this one maybe someone more experienced withy it can help.
T8-T11 FACET HYPERTROPHY
In this case the hypertrophy means the channel is smaller by means of tissue growth.

T11-T12 3MM BROAD BASED POSTERIOR CENTRAL HERNIATION WITH EFFACEMENT OF THE VENTRAL THECAL SAC Here again the disk is herniated (damage where the internal substance of the disk is allowed to breach the disk covering.

L2-3 FAR RIGHT LATERAL DISC EXTRUSION TO THE RIGHT SIDE CAUSING MILD DEGREE OF FORAMINAL NARROWING WITH POSSIBLE IMPINGEMENT UPON THE EXITING RIGHT L2 NERVE ROOT
Foramen: small openings in the spine where the nerves exit has narrowed and may be irritating the nerve root

L3-L4 MILD DISC DESICCATION WITH A POSTERIOR BROAD BASED DISC BULGE EXTENDING INTO THE FAR LATERAL REGION BILATERALLY CAUSING A MILD - MODERATE DEGREE OF FORAMINAL STENOSIS. SUSPICION OF IMPINGENMENT OF THE L3 NERVE ROOT. MILD FACET JOINT DEGENERATION.
Disk desiccation is related to a degeneration of the disk itself. It’s vague because they are not sure exactly what is causing it but the disk doesn’t look healthy. Stenosis means narrowing so the disk is causing the foramen to narrow. The joint is generally showing a fair amount of wear.

L4-5 THERE IS A BROAD BASED DISC EXTRUSIONIS NOTED POSTERIORLY NEAR THE MID LINE. THIS ENDENTS THE ANTERIOR THECAL. THERE IS BILATERAL RECESS NARROWING, LEFT GREATER THAN THE RIGHT WITH LIKELY IMPINGEMENT UPON THE DESCENDING LEFT L5 NERVE ROOT. THERE IS MILD FACET JOINT HYPERTROPHY.
Refer to above

L5-S1 THERE IS A CHRONIC APPEARING LOSS OF DISC HEIGHT AND SIGNAL AND ASYMMETRIC LEFT SIDED DISC BULGINGINTO THE NEURAL FORAMIN AND LATERAL
Refer to above

Do you like your doctor? I hope not because I would get a new one like yesterday. You have some spinal issues that have nothing to do with the diagnosis that your were given. In fact it’s kind of scary what your doctor said.
