Name of the Patient : Abc XyzSalmn / M / 35 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzrdiwalla.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O neckpain radiating to the LUE with paresthesias.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the cervical spine was performed using the following parameters :
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) axial images.
OBSERVATION :
The cervical intervertebral discs show slight loss of water content.
There are small posterior disc bulges at the C2-C3, C3-C4 and C4-C5 levels with anterior indentation of the thecal sac at the C4-C5 level. The joints of Luschka on the left side at the C4-C5 level show degenerative changes (scan 105.12) with probable indentation on the left C5 nerve root.
Small posterior peridiscal osteophytes, more to the left of the midline are seen at the C3-C4 and C4-C5 levels.
The cervical vertebral bodies show normal signal intensity. The remaining joints of Luschka and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
The cervical spinal cord reveals normal signal intensity.
The atlanto-axial region and the cervico-medullary junction are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION :
1. Small posterior disc bulges at the C2-C3, C3-C4 and C4-C5 levels, with degenerative changes in the joints of Luschka on the left side at the C4-C5 level with probable indentation on the left C5 nerve root.
2. Small posterior peridiscal osteophytes, more to the left of the midline at the C3-C4 and C4-C5 levels.
