The lumbar X-film showed : lumber spine stenosis ( including loss of the normal intervertebral disc heigh, spur formation and spinal instability). The MRI showed : L4-5, L5-S1 spinal stenosis with dura sac compression and neural foraman narrowing. Therefore he was admitted to the NS ward for further evaluation and management.
