MRI Report

A 35-year-old male underwent an MRI of the lumbar spine due to chronic backache. The MRI revealed straightening of the lumbar lordosis due to muscle spasm. A broad base disk bulge was seen at L3-L4 causing narrowing of the right lateral recess. A circumferential disk bulge was seen at L4-L5 also causing narrowing of the right lateral recess. A broad base disk bulge was seen at L5-S1 similarly causing narrowing of the right lateral recess. The impression was of disk bulges from L3-L4 through L5-S1 resulting in narrowing of the right lateral recess at each level.
