What Does The Following MRI Report Indicate?

C3-C4: Desiccation dehydration of the intervertebral disc is      
present. There is a asymmetric broad-based protrusion extending      
more towards the left and right side. This creates a moderate      
degree of left and mild to moderate degree of right inferior      
neural foraminal compromise. There is decreased the AP diameter      
thecal sac. Endplate hypertrophic changes accompany this finding.      
No significant spinal stenosis      

C4-C5: Dehydration the disc, mild annular bulging with minimal      
endplate hypertrophic changes are present. No neuroforaminal      
compromise or spinal stenosis.      

C5-C6: There is endplate irregularity, loss of disc space,      
endplate edema and fatty changes. There is an asymmetric      
protrusion. Greater towards the left than right side. This      
creates a moderate to severe left and moderate degree of right      
inferior neural foraminal compromise. There is decreased the AP      
diameter thecal sac creating a borderline degree spinal stenosis.      
No significant cord compression or myelomalacia currently seen.      

C6-C7: There is loss of disc space, broad-based bulging and a      
subtle tear of the disc annulus/Sharpy's fibers which appears      
contained. This creates decreased the AP diameter thecal sac      
without significant spinal stenosis. There is moderate right and      
mild to moderate left inferior neural foraminal compromise.
