 Cervical spine:The cervical vertebral bodies are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The cervical spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology. There is no evidence for syrinx. The cerebellar tonsils are low lying and extend 5 mm below the level of the foramen magnum. There is some multilevel disc desiccation present and mild reversal of the normal cervical curvature.CSF flow at the level of the foramen magnum appears intactAt 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. There is a small left lateral recess disc protrusion present at this level.At C4-5 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C5-6 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C6-7 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C7-T1 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.The vertebral artery flow voids appear to be intact. The left vertebral artery is larger than the right vertebral artery.MRI thoracic spine:The thoracic vertebral bodies are appropriate in the overall alignment and height. The thoracic spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology. There is no compromise of thoracic spinal canal or exiting nerve roots.
1.No evidence for syrinx.2.There is a Chiari I malformation present.3.There is no compromise of the cervical or thoracic spinal canal.4.There are mild degenerative changes present in the cervical spine.
