A member asked:
One of the mri findings said that i have minimal thoracolumbar curvature, conus unremarkable. what does this mean? is this scoliosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The thoracolumbar (low back) spine is naturally curved some. It moves back some to accommodate the pelvis and the end point moves forward. The conus is the name given to the structure at the end of the spinal cord. The words describe a normal study.
