Diagnosis: CervicalgiaClinical question: neck pain arm painSigns and Symptoms: neck pain arm pain The cervical vertebral bodies are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The cervical spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology. There is mild reversal of normal cervical curvature present.At C2-3 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. There are small uncovertebral osteophytes present this level associated with mild to moderate encroachment of the exiting nerve roots within the neural foramina.At C3-4 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. There is loss of disc space height, disc desiccation, diffuse disc bulge and uncovertebral osteophytes at this level. There is moderate encroachment of nerve roots within the left neural foramen at this level and mild encroachment of the nerve roots within the right neural foramen.At C4-5 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. There is loss of disc space height, disc desiccation, diffuse disc bulge and uncovertebral osteophytes at this level. There is left-sided facet hypertrophy at this level. There is mild to moderate encroachment of nerve roots within the left neural foramen at this level and mild encroachment of the nerve roots within the right neural foramen.At C5-6 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. There is loss of disc space height, disc desiccation, diffuse disc bulge and uncovertebral osteophytes at this level. There is moderate encroachment of nerve roots within the right neural foramen at this level .At C6-7 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. There is loss of disc space height, disc desiccation, diffuse disc bulge and uncovertebral osteophytes at this level. There is moderate encroachment of nerve roots within the left neural foramen at this level .At C7-T1 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. There is loss of disc space height, disc desiccation and diffuse disc bulge at this level associated with mild narrowing of the neural foramina bilaterally.The vertebral artery flow voids appear to be intact.
1.There are multilevel degenerative changes present in the cervical spine associated with encroachment of exiting nerve roots within the neural foramina at multiple levels as detailed above.
