45 years Male (DOB:6/5/1970)Reason: radiculopathy History: radiculopathyPROVIDER/ATTENDING NAME: MICHAEL J LEE MICHAEL J LEE 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. There is a mild broad-based disc protrusion present at the left lateral recess at this level which is associated with uncovertebral osteophytes and narrowing of the left neural foramen.At C4-5 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. There are small uncovertebral osteophytes present this level associated with disc material and narrowing of the neural foramina bilaterally.At C5-6 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. There are small uncovertebral osteophytes present at this level associated with disc material and encroachment of the neural foramina bilaterally. This neural foramen encroachment is worse on the left than the right side at this level.At C6-7 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. There are uncovertebral osteophytes present at this level associated with disc material and encroachment of the neural foramina bilaterally.At C7-T1 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.The vertebral artery flow voids appear to be intact.Some osteophytes are present at the T1-2 level without significant compromise to spinal canal or exiting nerve roots.
1.There are multilevel degenerative changes present in the cervical spine with endplate and uncovertebral osteophytes and encroachment of exiting nerve roots at multiple levels as detailed above. Neural foraminal encroachment appears to be worse on the left-sided C5-6 but also present on the left-sided C3-4, bilaterally at C4-5 on the right-sided C5-6 and bilaterally at C6-7.
