Reason: evaluate for change in C6-7 stenosis History: as above The cervical vertebral bodies are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The cervical spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology.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 is left-sided facet hypertrophy present at this level associated with mild narrowing of the left neural foramen. This is not significant change since prior exam.At C5-6 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina. There is a small central disk protrusion present at this levelAt C6-7 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina. There is a small left paramedian disk protrusion present at this level . Compared to the prior exam the patient's disk protrusion has regressed substantially.At C7-T1 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.The vertebral artery flow voids appear to be intact.
1.Since the previous exam the patient's C6-7 disk protrusion has regressed.2.There are degenerative changes present in the cervical spine as detailed above
