I got a copy of some of my records which included my MRI that was done 4/19.

First off:The study was compromised because by motion:Its hard to stay still for that long Flat on my back lol!

There is suggestion of transitional vertebral anatomy. Coronal imaging suggests the possibility of rudimentary ribs @ T12 amd [artocal sacralization of L5. Would correlate with plain film radiographs.

There is significant levoconvex rotoscoliosis of the lumbar spine. Conus terminates @ L1. There is diffuse dgenerative disc desiccation thourghout the Thoracolumbar spine. Axial imaging was obtained from L1-2 throuh L5-S1.

L1-2: There is mild circumferential dis buldge, mild facet hypertrophy. No significant central canal stenosis or foraminal stenosis is evident.

L2-3: There is minimal circmferential disc bldg, mild to moderate facet hypertrophy and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy is present. No significant central canal stenosis develops. Mild left side foraminal narrowing is present.

L3-4: There is circumferential disc buldge with small central dorsal annylar fissure. There is mild flattening of the anterior thecal sac. Mild to moderate facet hypertrophy and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy is present. No significant central canal stenosis develops. Disc buldge contributes to mild left greater than right, forminal narrowing.

L4=5: There is mild disc space narrowing. There is circumferential disc buldge with small central dorsal annular fissure. Moderate facet hypertrophy facet and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy is present. There is mild flattening of the anterior thecal sac with minmal central canal narrowing. Disc buldge contributes to mild left great than right foraminal narrowing.

L5-S1: No focal HNP is evident. Moderate facet hypertrophy is present no significant central canal stenosis or foraminal stenosis develops.

2 CM Tarlov Cyst @ s2.

Impression: Suspect transitional vertebral anatomy @ T12-L5. This could be correlated with plan film radiographs.
Significant levoconvex rotoscoliosis
Mulfi level degenerative disc disease and facet arthropathy throughout the thoracolumbar spine.
this results in recess narrowing and foraminal narrowing as described above.
