Male, 42 years old, with neck pain, left arm to hands. Image quality is degraded by motion artifact. Within this limitation, the following observations are made.Mild straightening of the cervical is seen. Alignment is otherwise unremarkable. Vertebral body morphology and signal characteristics are within normal limits.Except as discussed below, the spinal cord demonstrates normal signal intensity and morphology.C2-3: Unremarkable. C3-4: Mild facet hypertrophy. Otherwise unremarkable. No interval changes.C4-5: Mild facet hypertrophy. Mild left neuroforaminal narrowing. Otherwise unremarkable. No interval changes.C5-6: Mild facet hypertrophy. Posterior disk osteophyte formation with a left central/paracentral disk protrusion. Resultant mild flattening of the left ventral aspect of the cord without cord signal abnormality. Moderate left neuroforaminal narrowing. No significant interval changes. C6-7: Facet hypertrophy. Mild posterior disk osteophyte formation. Moderate left and mild right foraminal narrowing. No significant interval changes. C7-T1: Facet hypertrophy. Otherwise unremarkable. No significant interval changes.
Stable degenerative findings including a disk protrusion at C5-6 which mildly impinges upon the left ventral aspect of the cord.
