Status post MVC with neck pain, evaluate for ligamentous injury Craniovertebral junction appears within normal limits. The cervical vertebral bodies are appropriate in height. Alignment is maintained. Bone marrow signal is within normal limits. No evidence of edema or disruption involving the ligamentous structures is demonstrated. No evidence of epidural hematoma. No cord signal abnormality to suggest edema or hemorrhage.There is no significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis at any level in the cervical spine.The vertebral artery flow voids appear to be intact. Paraspinous soft tissue structures appear within normal limits. There is opacification of the bilateral mastoid air cells.
No findings to suggest ligamentous injury in the cervical spine spine. No appreciable bone marrow edema or soft tissue edema is demonstrated to suggest associated cervical spine fracture; please note however MRI is not sensitive for small fractures and CT can be considered as clinically indicated.
