Spinal surgery with neck pain and history of thyroglossal duct cysts surgery. Neck: There are postoperative findings related to thyroglossal duct cyst resection with punctate linear T2 hyperintensity in the midline inferior tongue base, just superior to the hyoid bone. There is no evidence of mass lesions or significant cervical lymphadenopathy. The thyroid and major salivary glands are unremarkable. The imaged intracranial structures are unremarkable.Cervical Spine: There are postoperative findings related to anterior fusion of C6 and C7. There is multilevel degenerative spondylosis with severe trace posterior disc-osteophyte complexes and a congenitally narrow spinal canal. At C2-3, there is mild to moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. At C3-C4, there is severe bilateral neuroforaminal stenosis. At C4-C5, there is mild left and severe right neuroforaminal stenosis. At C5-C6, there is moderate left and severe right neuroforaminal stenosis. At C6-C7, there is mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. At C7-T1, there is severe bilateral neuroforaminal stenosis. The vertebral body heights are preserved. The vertebral bone marrow signal is unremarkable. The spinal cord displays normal signal and morphology. The paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
1. Postoperative findings related to thyroglossal duct cyst resection with punctate linear T2 hyperintensity in the midline inferior tongue base, just superior to the hyoid bone, which may represent a residual portion of the thyroglossal duct. 2. Postoperative findings related to anterior fusion of C6 and C7. 3. Multilevel degenerative spondylosis and a congenitally narrow spinal canal and extensive neural foraminal stenoses at multiple levels, as described in the findings section.
