Female, 50 years old, with pain in the right arm. Evaluate for pinched nerve. Alignment is anatomic. Vertebral body heights are preserved. No marrow replacement or edema is seen. No pathologic marrow enhancement is detected.The visualized spinal cord demonstrates normal signal intensity and is free of pathologic enhancement. No epidural abnormalities are suspected.C2-3: No significant spinal canal or foraminal stenosis. C3-4: Mild right uncovertebral hypertrophy. No significant spinal canal stenosis. Mild narrowing of the right neural foramen. C4-5: Facet arthropathy. Minimal posterior disc-osteophyte complex formation. No significant spinal canal stenosis. Mild bilateral foraminal narrowing. C5-6: Facet arthropathy. Posterior disc-osteophyte complex formation, particularly towards the right. Severe right and moderate left foraminal narrowing. C6-7: No significant spinal canal or foraminal stenosis. C7-T1: No significant spinal canal or foraminal stenosis.
1.A combination of disc osteophyte formation and facet arthropathy results in severe right and moderate left foraminal narrowing at the C5-6 level.2.No other areas of high-grade foraminal or spinal canal compromise are seen.
