Other cervical disc degeneration, unspecified cervical region [M50.30], Reason for Study: ^Reason: Progression of DDD, foraminal stenosis, spinal stenosis History: Cervical radiculopathy in C5-6 distribution The examination was discontinued due to patient's pain.Thus, only T1 and T2 weighted sagittal scans were obtained.At the level of C5-C6 and C6-C7, decreased intervertebral disc heights and diffuse bulging of discs are seen which abuts thecal sac. However, there is no MR evidence of direct compression of the spinal cord. There is also evidence of ligamentum flavum thickening at those levels result mild spinal canal stenosis. Comparing to prior scan, there is no significant interval change since prior scan. The cervical spine appears to be slightly straightened reducing normal lordosis. The cranial-cervical junction is normal. Spinal cord signal intensity is normal.The vertebral body height is preserved. The bone marrow and end plates demonstrate a normal MR appearance. The cord signal is normal.
1. Incomplete cervical spine MRI scan due to patient's pain.2. Degenerative changes are seen at the level of C56 and C67 including diffuse disc bulge and mild spinal canal stenosis. No significant interval change since prior scan.3. Normal spinal cord signal intensity.
