Right neck/arm pain: evaluate for stenosis, herniation. There is an eccentric right disc extrusion with 8 mm of superior migration at C6-7 that results in effacement of the right lateral recess with flattening of the right hemicord and moderate medial right neural foramen stenosis. Otherwise, there is no spinal cord signal abnormality and no significant disc bulges or herniations at the other levels of the cervical spine. There is loss of the usual cervical lordosis in the sagittal plane. The vertebral body heights are preserved, however. The vertebral bone marrow signal is unremarkable. The paraspinal soft tissues and imaged intracranial structures are unremarkable.
An eccentric right disc extrusion with superior migration at C6-7 exerts mass effect upon the right aspect of the spinal cord and moderately narrows the medial aspect of the right neural foramen.
