52 years Female (DOB: 11/3/1963)Reason: ? Nerve root compression History: neck painPROVIDER/ATTENDING NAME: ADAM S. CIFU ADAM S. CIFU The cervical vertebral bodies are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The cervical spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology. There is straightening of the normal cervical curvature with mild reversal of the normal cervical curvature. There is multilevel disc desiccation 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. There is a disc bulge present at this level associated with mild narrowing of the neural foramina bilaterally.At C4-5 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina. There is a disc bulge present this level associated with some uncovertebral osteophytes and narrowing of the neural foramina bilaterally.At C5-6 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina. There is loss of disc space height, disc desiccation and endplate reactive change at this level. The endplate reactive change is more prominent on the right versus the left side of the disc. Endplate reactive changes low signal on T1 and high signal on T2. There are endplate and uncovertebral osteophytes present this level. There is narrowing of the neural foramina bilaterally at this level with some encroachment of the exiting nerve roots.At C6-7 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina. There is a disc bulge at this level associated with endplate and uncovertebral osteophytes and some encroachment of the exiting nerve roots within the 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.
1.There are multilevel degenerative changes present in the cervical spine with encroachment of the exiting nerve roots bilaterally at C5-6 and C6-7 due to osteophytes and disc material.
