Abstract
The main objective of this study is to investigate the radiographic MRI findings of the lumbosacral spine among young patients aged 10 to 24 years who presented with low back pain and underwent lumbosacral magnetic resonance imaging at De La Salle University Medical Center in Dasmariñas, Cavite, during a five-year period (January 1, 2013 to January 1, 2018). This study was conducted at the Department of Radiology. Low back pain is one of the most common complaints encountered in clinical practice. Several studies on low back pain are well known and have been documented in older age groups. The majority of abnormal MRI findings observed in our study were degenerative diseases (65%). Of the 62 subjects with degenerative disc disease, 40 were males (65%) and 22 were females (35%). The most commonly affected age group was 20 to 24 years. Hence, in this study, males were more commonly affected by lumbar degeneration than females.
