50 years Female (DOB:7/9/1965)Reason: Rule out fracture, disc herniation History: painPROVIDER/ATTENDING NAME: GABRIELLA L BORRELLI THOMAS J KELLY The cervical vertebral bodies are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The cervical spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology. No abnormal lesions are identified in the cervical spine. 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. There is a disc bulge present at this level with some mild narrowing of the right neural foramen. There are small uncovertebral osteophytes present this level contributing to neural foramina narrowing.At C4-5 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. There is a broad-based right lateral recess disc protrusion associated with some uncovertebral osteophytes and narrowing of the right neural foramen. There are some encroachment of the right-sided exiting nerve roots. This was also present on the prior exam.At C5-6 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina. There is a disc bulge present at this level.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.
1.There are degenerative changes present in the cervical spine worse at C3-4 and C4-5 where there is mild encroachment of the right-sided exiting nerve roots at C3-4 and moderate encroachment of the right-sided exiting nerve roots at C4-5.
