 Alignment is within normal limits. There are no fractures or subluxations. The marrow signal is benign. The cervical and upper thoracic cord are normal in signal. The cervicomedullary junction is normal. The cerebellar tonsils are in normal position. There is a disc osteophyte complex to the right of midline at C5-C6 that flattens the underlying spinal cord. There is also moderate to severe right neuroforaminal narrowing at C5-C6. There is no significant spinal canal narrowing and the remaining neuroforamina are within normal limits.Asymmetric soft tissue at the expected level of the right submandibular gland is noted.
1.Degenerative disc disease at C5-C6 with cord impingement and moderate to severe right neuroforaminal narrowing.2.Asymmetric soft tissue at the level of the right submandibular gland noted. If clinically indicated, this can be further evaluated with dedicated CT or MRI.
