EXAM: MR SPINE CERVICAL WO CONT
CLINICIAN'S HISTORY: CHRONIC NECK PAIN
HISTORY REPORTED TO TECHNOLOGIST: CHRONIC NECK PAIN, fell in February,
ordering dr. XXXXXXX XXXXXXX W. , no previous studies
COMPARISON: None
TECHNIQUE: MR images of the cervical spine were obtained at 1.5 Tesla
in multiple planes without contrast.
Findings: On the sagittal images, the vertebral bodies align normally.
Disc bulges are seen at several levels. Other than a few small
hemangiomas, the bone marrow signal is normal. The cord signal is
normal. The visualized portions of the brain are unremarkable.
On the axial images, the C2-3 level is normal.
At C3-4, a right lateral disc bulge causes moderate narrowing of the
right neural foramen. The left neural foramen and spinal canal are not
narrowed.
At C4-5, a right lateral disc bulge causes moderate to severe
narrowing of the right neural foramen. The left neural foramen is
mildly to moderately narrowed. The spinal canal is not narrowed.
At C5-6, bilateral disc osteophyte complexes cause moderate to severe
narrowing of both neural foramina. The spinal canal is mildly
narrowed. There is some mild effacement of the cord.
At C6-7, a left lateral disc bulge causes moderate to severe narrowing
of the left neural foramen. The right neural foramen is mildly to
moderately narrowed. The spinal canal is mildly to moderately
narrowed. There is some effacement of the cord.
The C7-T1 and T1-2 levels are unremarkable. No abnormal fluid
collections are seen. The visualized portions of the paraspinous
muscles are unremarkable.
Impression:
1. Multifocal changes of degenerative disc disease above. The most
abnormal level overall is probably C5-6.
