Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzo.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O neckpain with pain radiating to the RUE 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 loss of water content with reversal of normal lordotic curve.

There is a right postero-lateral disc herniation with a large peridiscal osteophyte at the C5-C6 level with antero-lateral indentation of the cord and right neural foraminal narrowing. There is indentation upon the right C6 nerve root.

Small posterior disc herniation is seen at the C3-C4 level and a right postero-lateral disc herniation at the C7-D1 level.

The C3-C4, C4-C5 and C5-C6 facet joints show degenerative changes.

The cervical vertebral bodies show normal signal intensity. The 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. A right postero-lateral disc herniation with a large peridiscal osteophyte at the C5-C6 level indenting the right C6 nerve root.

2. Small posterior disc herniation at the C3-C4 level and
and a right postero-lateral disc herniation at the C7-D1 level.
