Headache [R51] / Other specified joint disorders, unspecified ankle and foot [M25.879], Reason for Study: ^Reason: eval for posterior column abnormalities History: chronic daily headache, lack of proprioception There is subtle height loss with associated osteophytes at C5 especially on the anterior aspect and subtle enhancement indicate possible chronic compression fracture related changes. There is focal central protrusion of disc at the level of C34 which abuts thecal sac.Broad based disc bulge is seen at the level of C56. Spinal cord signal intensity appears to be normal.There is normal cervical lordosis. The cranial-cervical junction is normal.
1. Subtle high signal intensity with some enhancement of C5, likely represent chronic trauma related compression fracture.2. Disc protrusion at the level of C34 and bulging at C56.3. Otherwise unremarkable.
