Female, 34 years old, with neck pain after falling down six stairs. Spinal alignment is slightly straightened but is otherwise unremarkable. Vertebral body height and morphology are within normal limits. No pathologic marrow replacement or evidence of marrow edema is seen. The cervical spinal cord shows normal signal intensity and morphology throughout the field-of-view. No epidural abnormalities are suspected.There may be a very small central or paracentral disc protrusion at T3-4 which causes no significant spinal canal stenosis. Elsewhere in the cervical spine, no significant disc osteophyte formation is seen. The spinal canal and the neural foramina remain patent.
No evidence of any acute posttraumatic abnormality in the cervical spine.
