Female, 49 years old, unspecified disturbances of skin sensation/pure sensory syndrome for evaluation of possible spinal cord mass. There is straightening of the normal cervical lordosis, without subluxation. Vertebral body heights are maintained. There is multilevel disc desiccation with mild loss of intervertebral disc height from C3-4 through C6-7. There are associated endplate degenerative marrow signal changes. A small round area of increased T1 and T2 signal in the superior aspect of the T3 vertebral body, likely relates to a intraosseous hemangioma or focal fatty marrow. Bone marrow signal intensity is otherwise within normal limits. There is no abnormal cord signal. There is no abnormal intrathecal enhancement.Additional level specific findings are as follows:C2-3: Small posterior disc osteophyte complex. Left greater than right facet arthropathy and uncovertebral hypertrophy. No significant spinal canal stenosis. Mild left neural foraminal narrowing.C3-4: Axial images degraded by motion. A small posterior disc osteophyte complexes suggested with right greater than left facet arthropathy. No significant spinal canal stenosis is evident. Neural foraminal stenoses are not able to be evaluated.C4-5: Axial images degraded by motion. Posterior disc osteophyte complex. Right greater than left facet arthropathy and uncinate hypertrophy. No significant spinal canal stenosis. Mild right neural foraminal narrowing.C5-6: Posterior disc osteophyte complex with a prominent right paracentral disc protrusion, which causes mild spinal canal stenosis, effacing the ventral thecal sac and flattening the spinal cord. Right greater than left facet arthropathy and uncinate hypertrophy. Mild to moderate right and mild left neural foraminal narrowing.C6-7: Small posterior disc osteophyte complex. Bilateral facet arthropathy and uncinate hypertrophy. Mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.C7-T1: No disc herniation. No significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenoses.
No abnormal cord signal or enhancement.Multilevel moderate degenerative changes throughout the cervical spine, most prominent at the C5-6 level with mild spinal canal stenosis and mass effect on the spinal cord.
