Hello, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you want to know meaning of Spondylosis bilaterally at L5 with grade I anterolisthesis, with left anterolateral protrusion and high-grade left formidable narrowing. Spondylosis means degenerative disease in which osteophytes (protruding bone ends) are seen indicating aging. Grade I anterolisthesis means there is anterior shifting of spinal column in relation to lower vertebrae. Left anterolateral protrusion means disc is going backward and towards outer side. L5 root is pressed. Other tings are near normal. So there are changes of old age, coming out of disc between L5 and S1 vertebrae and there is anterior shifting of L5 vertebra along with whole spine as compared to S1. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
