Legend
Sagittal T2 and T1 images of the lumbar spine show grade I spondylolisthesis at L3-L4 and
L4-L5. Severe central spinal canal narrowing is identified at L3-L4. The endplates at
L3-L4 have an irregular contour. Note the irregularity of the bony margins of the apposing
spinous processes of L3 and L4 and focal high signal fluid between the spinous processes
of L1-2 and L2-3.
