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.

Some T1 Weighted axial images show patient motion.

OBSERVATION :

The cervical intervertebral discs show loss of water content.

There are postero-central disc herniations at the C4-C5 and C5-C6 levels with posterior peridiscal osteophytes and anterior indentation of the spinal cord.

Small posterior disc bulges are seen at the C3-C4 and C6-C7 levels.

Hemangioma with fatty content is seen in the D1 vertebral body.

The left facet joint at the C4-C5 level and bilaterally at the C5-C6 level show hypertrophic changes.

The cervical vertebral bodies show normal signal intensity. The joints of Luschka and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.

The atlanto-axial region and the cervico-medullary junction are unremarkable.

IMPRESSION :

1. Postero-central disc herniations at the C4-C5 and C5-C6 levels with posterior peridiscal osteophytes with anterior indentation of the spinal cord.
