Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I believe the above post is a Scan report and it says that the lesion at the L4-L5 vertebra is complicated and severe leading to spinal cord compression. It is necessary for it to be surgically corrected at the earliest.
I would like to know what doubts do you have pertaining to the above report.
