History of left C6-7 disc herniation with mass effect on the left neural foramen and a small disc herniation at C5-6. There is an eccentric left disc-osteophyte complex at C6-7 that slightly impinges upon the left aspect of the spinal cord. In conjunction with mild left facet hypertrophy, there is moderate left C6-7 neural foraminal stenosis. Milder degenerative spondylosis at C3 though C6 results in mild spinal canal stenosis and perhaps mild bilateral neural foraminal stenosis at each of these levels. The spinal cord displays normal signal characteristics. The cervical vertebral column is within normal limits. The vertebral bone marrow signal is unremarkable. There is persistent prominence of the adenoids and tonsils. The imaged portions of the intracranial structures are unremarkable.
1. An eccentric disc-osteophyte complex at C6-7 that slightly impinges upon the left aspect of the spinal cord. In conjunction with mild left facet hypertrophy, there is moderate left C6-7 neural foraminal stenosis. Milder degenerative spondylosis at C3 though C6 results in mild spinal canal stenosis and perhaps mild neural foraminal stenosis bilaterally at each of these levels. 2. Persistent nonspecific prominence of the adenoids and tonsils.
