Neck pain Examination is motion degraded. Craniovertebral junction appears within normal limits. The cervical vertebral bodies are appropriate in height. Alignment is grossly maintained. Bone marrow signal is within normal limits. There is a disc extrusion at the C3-C4 level which effaces the ventral thecal sac and results in mild deformity of the left ventral cord. Dorsal thecal sac is patent at this level. Small disc bulges are also seen at the C5-C6 and C6-C7 levels with mild effacement of the ventral thecal sac. There is otherwise no significant spinal canal stenosis in the cervical spine. Up to moderate neural foraminal narrowing at the left C3-C4 level is questioned. Otherwise no high-grade neural foraminal stenosis is seen, within the limitations of the motion degradation. No definite cord signal abnormality is seen. Mild multilevel facet arthropathy.
Moderately motion degraded exam, please see comment in the technique section. There is a disc extrusion at the C3-C4 level which mildly deforms the left ventral cord and results in moderate narrowing involving the left aspect of the spinal canal at this level. There is otherwise no significant spinal canal stenosis at additional levels. No definite cord signal abnormality.
