Male, 44 years old, with radiculopathy. Please note that only a partial examination consisting of sagittal T2, T1 and STIR sequences was obtained due to patient discomfort requiring early termination.The typical cervical lordosis is reversed. Sagittal alignment is unremarkable. Vertebral body height and morphology are within normal limits. No pathologic marrow replacement or marrow edema is suspected. The visualized spinal cord demonstrates normal signal intensity throughout. No epidural abnormality is suspected.There appears to be a combination of multilevel disc osteophyte disease and thickening of the posterior longitudinal ligament from C2 through C6. This contributes to a generalized spinal canal narrowing through this region. There is little visible CSF space anterior or posterior to the cord in this region. However, the cord does not appear to be significantly deformed.
1.Limited examination for reasons discussed above. Only sagittal imaging could be obtained.2.Generalized narrowing of the spinal canal is seen between C2 and C6 apparently due to a combination of disc osteophyte disease and thickening of the posterior longitudinal ligament.
