Question 1

had mri in 2021 and one 2 weeks ago - awaiting results. if in 2021 the following notes below would these still be on the new one or can they heal on own. grade 1 anterolisthesis of l4 on l5 impingement of left exit l5 & transversing s1 nerve root?

Accepted Answer

: Without seeing you and MRI we cannot really advise, Speak to a Dr who has seen you and the MRI.

Question 2

can you explain my findings...grade 1 anterolisthesis of l5 on s1 of 4mm. degenerative about facet joints l4-5 and l5-s1.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Normally the vertebrae line up when going from one to the next.  An anterilisthesis simply means one varrtebrae is shifted forward on the other.  The facet joints are joints in the back of the spine and at the two lower levels you have developed some degenerative arthritic changes.

Question 3

normal? mild straightening normal cervical lordosis maybe positional. minimal grade 1 anterolisthesis c3 on c4 and c4 on c5 minimal grade 1 retrolisthesis of c5 on c6. degenerative change disc ridge complexes c4-5 and c5-6. dens intact. no fracture.

Accepted Answer

Degenerative  disc: This is degenerative  disc but you may need an MRI of the cervical spine depending on your symptoms. You could ask your physician to help clarify.

Question 4

i have bilateral degenerative changes at l5-s1 level w/a grade 1-2 spondylolisthesis found 9/2012 has become worse will i end up needing surgery?

Accepted Answer

Probably: If you are getting worse, i would suggest a follow-up MRI and a consultation with a spine surgeon. Conservative care certainly helps some patients. However, if you are getting worse, surgery may ultimately be required. Check out spinehealth.Com.

Question 5

grade 1 anterolisthesis>>  c-7 on t-1 what area does that affect?

Accepted Answer

Bottom of neck: It affects the spine at the very lowest level in the neck and the highest level in the thoracic spine or upper back.  Most people do fine without much problems.

Question 6

grade 1  anterolisthesis   c7 on t 1  what  area does that affect?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: The cause is mild movement of C7 on t1 because of degenerative changes in the disc/posterior bony structures of the c7/t1 fact articulation. This may produce no symptoms or may be a cause of neck/arm pain. Your symptoms have to be correlated with the results of the scan.

Question 7

can you tell me what is mild grade 1 spondylolisthesis?

Accepted Answer

Spine slippage: Spondy means spine/ listhesis means to slip.
A grade 1 (0ut of possible 4) is a forward slippage of one vertebrae over the one below.  It can be a congenital/ develpmental problem or a result of degeneration.

Question 8

what does grade 1 anterolisthesis of l5 on s1 secondary to bilateral pars defects mean

Accepted Answer

Spondylolisthesis: Isthmic spondylolisthesis is another term for what you are describing.  Basically one of the vertebrae is shifted foreword over the other.  What has caused this condition in your case is a "defect" if the pars interarticularis, which usually stabilizes the spine. This condition can be associated with back and leg pain and difficulty standing or walking for long periods.  Many treaent options.

Question 9

is there any surgery to fix a grade 1 anterolisthesis of l4 and l5 with a bilateral pars defects on l4?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes.  There are several options.  The gold standard is traditionally a decompression and fusion of one form or another.  There are many non surgical options as well.

Question 10

what does grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the l4-5 level mean?

Accepted Answer

Up to 25%: Grade 1 means that the forward slippage of L4 is up to one quarter (25%) of the top of the L5 vertebra. So if the top of L5 front to back is 50 mm, the forward slip of L4 is more than zero and less than 12.5 mm.
