Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzauhan.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O neckpain radiating to the LUE with paresthesias in the LUE and LLE.
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 slight loss of normal cervical lordosis and loss of water content of the cervical intervertebral discs.
There are posterior disc herniations with peridiscal osteophytes at the C4-C5 and C5-C6 levels with anterior indentation of the thecal sac. A small posterior disc herniation with small peridiscal osteophytes is also seen at the C6-C7 level.
Hemangioma with fatty content are seen in the C6 and D2 vertebral bodies. Fatty changes are noted in the cervical vertebral bodies.
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 :
The MRI features are suggestive of :
1. Posterior disc herniations with peridiscal osteophytes at the C4-C5 and C5-C6 levels.
2. A small posterior disc herniation with small peridiscal osteophytes at the C6-C7 level.
