It was reported that (b)(6) 2010: patient underwent posterior fusion surgery using rhbmp2/acs, allograft paste and plif spacers.On (b)(6) 2013: patient underwent mri lumbar spine without contrast due to orthopedic hardware, pain, radiculopathy.Impression: native disc parenchyma noted at t12 --- l1.2 mm disc bulge; probable native disc without spacer material at l2 ---3.Central to right lateral disc protrusion measuring 2.5 mm; at the l3 --- 4 level there is a 3 mm impression upon the ventral subarachnoid space.This could represent disc bulge versus scar tissue; at the l4 - 5 level, there is a 4 mm impression upon the ventral subarachnoid space.This could represent disc bulging versus scar tissue.Fluid signal along the posterior periphery of this disc suggestive of annular tear; there is rounded fluid signal intensity structure along the posterior aspect of the thecal sac at the l4 - 5 level.This is felt to represent a seroma; at the l5 - s1 level, there is a 3 mm impression upon the ventral subarachnoid space.This likely represents a disc bulge.Can not rule out annular tear along the right lateral periphery of the interspace.
