 The vertebral column alignment is within normal limits. The vertebral body and disc space heights are preserved. There is a 1.0 x 1.1 cm T1 hypointense and T2 hyperintense focus within the body of the C2 vertebral body. There are minimal posterior disc-osteophyte complexes at multiple levels, but no significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenoses. The spinal cord displays normal signal and morphology. The paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
1. Minimal degenerative changes of the cervical spine without significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis. No spinal cord signal abnormality.2. A lesion in the C2 body is likely benign. However, further evaluation with radiograph or CT may be useful. I personally reviewed the Images and/or procedure with the Resident/Fellow and agree with this report.
