Left C5-6 radiculopathy: shoulder and neck pain. There is multilevel degenerative cervical spondylosis. In particular, there is a prominent disc-osteophyte complex at C5-6 that compresses the left aspect of the spinal cord and severely narrows the left neural foramen. There may be mild high T2 signal in the spinal cord at this level. There is also a small central disc-osteophyte complex at C4-5 that abuts the spinal cord and a smaller central disc-osteophyte complex at C3-4 that partly effaces the cerebrospinal fluid anterior to the spinal cord. Furthermore, uncovertebral hypertrophy at C4-5 results in mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. There is also minimal disc-osteophyte formation and uncovertebral hypertrophy at C6-7. There is no significant degenerative spondylosis at C2-3 and C7-T1. Aside from degenerative bone marrow signal alteration at the C5-6 level, the bone marrow appears unremarkable. There is lack of the typical cervical lordosis, but no spondylolisthesis. The vertebral body heights are preserved. The paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
