Neck pain after MVA Cervical spine:The cervical vertebral bodies are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The cervical spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology. There is multilevel disk desiccation present.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. At C4-5 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina. There are small left-sided uncovertebral osteophytes present at this level resulting in mild encroachment on the left-sided exiting nerve roots..At C5-6 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina. There are endplate and uncovertebral osteophytes present at this level associated with a disk bulge and narrowing of the left neural foramen and some mild encroachment of the left-sided exiting nerve roots.At C6-7 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina. There is a minor disk bulge present at this levelAt C7-T1 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.The vertebral artery flow voids appear to be intact.Lumbar spine:Five lumbar type vertebral bodies are presumed to be present which are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The conus medullaris on sagittal imaging is grossly intact. There is mild multilevel disk desiccation present. The marrow signal is rather heterogeneous .At L5-S1 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is mild facet hypertrophy at this levelAt L4-5 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is mild ligamentum flavum hypertrophy present at this level.At L3-4 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L2-3 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L1-2 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.
1.There are chronic degenerative changes present in the cervical spine resulting in mild encroachment of left-sided exiting nerve roots at C4-5 and C5-6.2.There are mild degenerative changes present in the lumbar spine.3.Heterogeneous marrow signal is a nonspecific finding.
