My dad has been suffering from back pain for thee last 1 year , recently we went in for an mri scan and the doctor diagnosed the following. Grade 1 of anterolisthesis of l4 on l5 with bilateral pars defects. Marrow signal intensity is normal. Hypertropic degenerative changes in the vertebrae with osteophyte prominence and in the facet joints. l3/l4 disc is diffusely bulged . The bulged disc coupled with hypertrophied articular facets have caused bilateral neural foraminal compromise with exciting nerve roots compression at this disc level. l4/l5 disc is diffusely bulged . The bulged disc in conjunction with bilateral hypertrophied articular facets and thickened ligamentum flavum have caused canal and bilateral neural foraminal stensosis with exiting nerve rootws compression at this disc level . Mild diffuse bulge is seen in the l5/s1 disc. No significant bulge or herniation is seen in the remaining discs. Paraspinal Soft Tissue structures are nomal. Impression-Bilateral neural foraminal compromise with exciting nerve roots compression at l3/l4 disc level .Canal and bilateral neural foraminal stenosis with exciting nerve roots compression at l4/l5 level.
