Moderate narrowing of the L5-S1 intervertebral disk space indicates a reduction in the height of the intervertebral disk between the fifth lumbar vertebra and the first sacral vertebra, often associated with degenerative changes. The vacuum disk phenomenon refers to the presence of gas (usually nitrogen) within the disk space, which appears on imaging as dark areas and is a sign of disk degeneration. This combination can result in lower back pain and may affect spinal stability. It is typically seen in older patients or those with a history of spinal issues.
