What Does This MRI Report Of Cervical Spine Suggest?
Hi. I have cervical spine MRI scan results. Mild re duction in lordosis. Shallow posterior disc protrusion C4/5 and C5/6 results in partial ventral thecal sac effacement. Small posterior annular tears are noted at both of these levels. Root entry zones are not effaced. Exit foramina are widely capacious on both sides. No fracture,no marrow oedema. No significant facet arthropathy. Can you please help me understand what is going on? Thank you

Hello!
There is normally a forward bending of neck vertebrae bones which are called cervical vertebrae.Report suggest mild loss of forward bending or in other words straightening of cervical vertebrae. No other abnormality is detected . signs of nerve compression which can cause tingling sensation in upper limb are absent as per the report.
