Is this SMA?

Besides having severe multilevel spinal stenosis, my MRI says There is a left paraspinal muscular atrophy. Multilevel degenerative changes with multilevel disc desiccation is seen.

Is this SMA?

Thanks!

  1. Hi there Alan! Thanks so much for joining our community and asking us this question. Unfortunately we are not medical professionals here and are unable to diagnose or say if something is SMA or not. Have you had a follow-up consultation with the physician who ordered the MRI? Perhaps they can provide more insight on what this report is telling you. Please let us know! All the best, Abby (Team Member)
