What Does My MRI Report Mean?

My MRI report says mild disc bulge noted in C3/C4 level causing compression on thecal sac. Diffuse disc bulge with small posterior disc osteophyte complex is noted at C4/C5 causing compression on thecal sac with narrowing of right neural foramen resulting in compression on exiting nerve roots on right side at this level. Same witj C5/C6 with slight narrowing of right neural foramen closely abuting exiting nerve roots

Neurologist, Surgical 's  Response
Hello,

These MRI findings of your cervical spine are consistent with degenerative changes (spondylosis) with subsequent spinal cord and nerve roots impingement.

In cases like this, a correlation between MRI findings and neurological examination is necessary to assess the correct treatment ways.

I suggest you discuss with a Neurologist for these issues.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
