Radiculopathy. Two month history of left neck/shoulder pain and tingling with preceding trauma. Please note only sagittal sequences were obtained. Patient was in pain and could not tolerate further imaging. The obtained sagittal sequences are also motion degraded.Within this limitation, vertebral body heights are normal. There is mild nonspecific heterogeneity of the bone marrow without focal destructive lesions, including areas of T1 shortening in the bone marrow possibly related to prior radioiodine ablation. No obvious cord signal abnormality. Degenerative changes are seen with mild multilevel facet arthropathy as well as disc osteophyte complexes which mildly efface the ventral thecal sac at multiple levels. There is however no evidence of significant spinal canal stenosis at any level. Neural foramina are not well evaluated without axial images, although bony foraminal stenosis is evident on recent radiographs. No gross evidence of ligamentous injury within the limitations above.
Severely limited exam as described above. There are mild multilevel degenerative changes without significant spinal canal stenosis at any level. Neural foramina cannot be evaluated without axial images although multilevel foraminal stenoses are evident on recent radiographs. Repeat examination with sedation can be considered as clinically indicated.
