Female, 53 years old, status post cervical fusion with neck pain and stiffness. Evidence of anterior instrumented fusion is seen across C5-6. Slight reversal of the cervical lordosis may be in part positional. Other than surgical changes, vertebral body morphology is within normal limits. No pathologic marrow replacement or edema is observed.The visualized spinal cord shows intensity and morphology. No epidural lesions are suspected.C2-3: No spinal canal stenosis or neuroforaminal narrowing. C3-4: No spinal canal stenosis or neuroforaminal narrowing. C4-5: Small central disc osteophyte which may just contact the ventral cord but causes no significant generalized spinal canal compromise. The neural foramina are patent. C5-6: No spinal canal stenosis or neuroforaminal narrowing. C6-7: Mild posterior disc-osteophyte complex formation asymmetric to the right. No significant spinal canal or foraminal compromise. C7-T1: Left facet arthropathy. No significant spinal canal compromise. Mild left foraminal narrowing.
1.Postoperative findings compatible with C5-6 anterior instrumented fusion.2.Mild central disc osteophyte formation at C4-5 without significant spinal canal or foraminal compromise.3.Facet arthropathy on the left at C7-T1 which causes mild narrowing of the neural foramen.
