Degenerative Spondylolisthesis Factors at Level L4–5: MR Imaging Findings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction: Over time, the body, including spine, undergoes anatomical and morphological changes. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a good modality to analyse degenerative processes by evaluating joint deformity fat accumulation in bone muscle. We studied MR images from 22 patients diagnosed with spondylolisthesis at level L4-5 characterise factors that cause spondylolisthesis, disc degeneration, facet osteoarthritis, fatty infiltration of multifidus muscle thickening ligamentum flavum. Materials Methods: Twenty-two were enrolled this study following spine L4-5: intervertebral disc, joint, Results: None evaluated normal L4-5; all had degenerated various degrees. Twelve discs (54.5%) showed significant decrease height hypointense signal, indicating grade IV. Fifteen cases (68.1%) narrowing irregularity marked osteophytes, suggesting severe osteoarthritis. In 11 (50%), already infiltrated muscles such there was an equal amount tissue, III on Goutallier classification. Thickening flavum also observed, maximal 6.7 mm (right) 7.1 (left). Conclusion: Our confirms degeneration flava are present L4-5.

متن کاملSubacute sclerosing panencephalitis findings at MR imaging, diffusion MR imaging, and proton MR spectroscopy.
A case of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis in a 2-year-old boy is reported. In addition to asymmetric lesions in the parietotemporal lobes, right thalamus, and globus pallidus, symmetric patterns were notable in the brain stem, middle cerebellar pedincles, and dentate nuclei. Proton MR spectroscopy revealed markedly decreased N-acetylaspartate peaks and normal choline and myo-inositol levels...
