Discussion:

Large L4/L5 central/right paracentral disc extrusion with caudal migration of disc material to the L5-S1 disc space causing severe central canal and right lateral recess stenosis with compression of the descending right L5 and S1 nerve roots. Disc extrusion contacts the descending left L5 nerve root in the lateral recess. 

The MRI findings were confirmed at surgery.
