Question 7

what does it mean to me and what should i do if i have "chronic bilateral pars defects at l5"?

Accepted Answer

Me too!: Bilateral pars defects are genetic defects of the spine that mean that the joints that hold the spine together at that are, and you could be more prone to spondylolisthesis--the top vertebra slipping over the bottom, which can case back pain, and radicular pain from pinched nerves.  My mother had this, and so do i.  Mine caught earlier because i was a gymnast--didn't know i had this until too late.

Question 8

what is meant by  bilateral urolithiasis?

Accepted Answer

Stones, both sides.: Urolithiasis are stones in the urinary tract, such as a kidney stone, ureteral stone, or bladder stone.  Bilateral means both sides. Since the body has two kidneys, one of the left and one on the right, the phrase "bilateral urolithiasis" could simply mean that there is a kidney stone on the left and right sides of the body.

Question 9

what do you mean by bilateral basal pneumonitis?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation of lung: Pneumonitis is a term used for inflammation of lungs (mostly due to infections). If it involves the lower zones of the lungs on both left and right lung, then it would be reported as bilateral basal pneumonitis. This is just a description of the extent of lung involvement, and there could be several causes for this pattern. Talk to your doctor regarding your specific situation.

Question 10

what exactly bilateral small smooth kidneys mean?

Accepted Answer

See below: Bilateral - means on both sides
kidneys are either smooth in contour or slightly lumpy which occurs when they are formed in-utero.  If described as small, you may want to find out if the size is small but within the normal range, or small and outside the normal range for your size. If smaller than expected, it might signal kidney disease. Talk to your doctor about the findings.
