38 years Female (DOB:6/19/1978)Reason: previous c5-c6 hnp History: lue radiculopathyPROVIDER/ATTENDING NAME: MICHAEL J LEE SERVICES ANCILLARY The cervical vertebral bodies are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The cervical spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology. No abnormal enhancing lesions are identified in the cervical spine.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 or neural foramina.At C4-5 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C5-6 there is some loss of disc space height and disc desiccation as well as a left lateral recess disc protrusion which impresses on the ventral aspect of the thecal sac and encroaches on the left hemicord and nerve roots at the left lateral recess and the left neural foramen. There are associated uncovertebral osteophytes. This was present on the prior exam and does not appear to have changed substantially.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 is a left lateral recess disc protrusion associated with uncovertebral osteophytes at C5-C6 which encroaches on the left hemicord and the nerve roots at the left lateral recess.
