Name of the Patient : Abc XyzKinjawdlmn / M / 33 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzngsarkar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O neck pain (left sided) with tingling in the LUE and LLE since 8 months.

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 :

There is loss of normal cervical lordosis and loss of water content of the cervical intervertebral discs.

There is a left postero-lateral disc herniation at the C4-C5 level with indentation on the cervical spinal cord on the left and the left C5 nerve root.

There is a right postero-lateral disc herniation at the C6-C7 level indenting the cervical spinal cord on the right and the right C7 nerve root.

Postero-central disc herniations are noted at the C3-C4 and C5-C6 levels (larger at the C5-C6 level).

The articular facets at the C4-C5 and C5-C6 levels appear slightly hypertrophied.

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 left postero-lateral disc herniation at the C4-C5 level with indentation on the cervical spinal cord on the left and the left C5 nerve root.

2. A right postero-lateral disc herniation at the C6-C7 level indenting the cervical spinal cord on the right and the right C7 nerve root.

3. Postero-central disc herniations at the C3-C4 and C5-C6 levels (larger at the C5-C6 level).

4. Slight facetal hypertrophy at the C4-C5 and C5-C6 levels.
