Spondylolisthesis is noted at L4-5 level with anterior movement of L4 vertebra over L5.Subluxation is also noted at L4 vertebra.
Diffuse disc bulge is noted at L4-5 level. It is due to weakness in annulus fibrosis. It is causing compression over thecal sac.Ligamentum flavum is also hypertrophied.
Facetal hypertrophy at L4-5 level and it is causing narrowing of neural foramen with compression of exiting right L4 nerve roots.
Diffuse disc bulge is also noted at L5-S1 level.
