Diagnosis: Brachial neuritis or radiculitis NOSClinical question: Right C5, 6 numbness and radiculopathySigns and Symptoms: pain, weakness numbness The cervical vertebral bodies are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The cervical spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology. There is multilevel disc desiccation present. There is mild loss of signal present at the C2-3, C5-4, C4-5 and C5-6 disc spaces indicating some disc desiccation. There is mild reversal of the normal cervical curvature present.At C2-3 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C3-4 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C4-5 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C5-6 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C6-7 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C7-T1 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.The vertebral artery flow voids appear to be intact. The right vertebral artery is smaller than the left vertebral artery.
There are mild degenerative changes present in the cervical spine without significant compromise to spinal canal or exiting nerve roots.
