Disc herniation; neck and arm pain History: painPROVIDER/ATTENDING NAME: LEWIS L SHI LEWIS L SHI 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 disc 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 . There are uncovertebral osteophytes present bilaterally associated with disc material and narrowing of the neural foramina bilaterally with mild encroachment of exiting nerve roots bilaterally.At C5-6 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. There are uncovertebral osteophytes present bilaterally associated with disc material and narrowing of the neural foramina bilaterally with encroachment of exiting nerve roots bilaterally.At C6-7 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina. There is a perineural cyst present in the right neural foramen at this levelAt C7-T1 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. There is a diffuse disc bulge present at this level associated bilateral uncovertebral osteophytes and encroachment of the exiting nerve roots within the neural foramina bilaterally.The vertebral artery flow voids appear to be intact.
1.There are multilevel degenerative changes present in the cervical spine with encroachment of exiting nerve roots bilaterally at C6-7, C7-T1 and to a lesser degree C4-5.
