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.
SOME IMAGES SHOW PATIENT MOTION.
OBSERVATION :
There is loss of normal cervical lordosis and loss of water content of the cervical intervertebral discs.
There is a fairly large, posterior and left postero-lateral disc herniation with peridiscal osteophytes at the C5-C6 level with left neural foraminal narrowing and indentation on the traversing left C6 nerve root.
A small postero-central protruded disc with peridiscal osteophytes is noted at the C4-C5 level.
The cervical vertebral bodies show spotty fatty marrow changes. 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 fairly large, posterior and left postero-lateral disc herniation with peridiscal osteophytes at the C5-C6 level with left neural foraminal narrowing and indentation on the traversing left C6 nerve root.
2. A small postero-central protruded disc with peridiscal osteophytes at the C4-C5 level.
