What Does This MRI Report Of Spine Indicate?
I had an MRI done on my cervical spine the report says reveals posterior central disc protrusion at C4-C5 level causing ventral indentation upon the thecal sac. Cervical vertebral bodies demonstrate normal marrow signal intensity. Vertebral soft tissues are normal. No central stenosis seen. No intramedullary masses are identified. I have had migraines for 15 plus years. dizziness and vertigo for the last 7 months. No head injuries or accidents to report. What does the MRI mean?

Hello. I have been through yoir question and understand your concern.
The cervical disc protrusions are common findings in the MRI and generally benign. If you do not have any walking problems or handeling the objects, then you should not worry. It would be better if you schedule a neurological consult to evaluate for any motor or sensory deficit (caused by the protrusion). Otherwise you should not be worried about.
Hope this helps. Please feel free using MHC again.
