Cervicalgia [M54.2], Reason for Study: ^Reason: eval degenerative disease History: distal numbness and tingling despite carpal tunnel release There is normal cervical lordosis. The cranial-cervical junction is normal. The spine alignment is anatomic. The vertebral body height is preserved. The bone marrow and end plates demonstrate a normal MR appearance. The cord signal is normal. Degenerative changes are specified by the intervertebral level as follows: C2-C3: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. C3-C4: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. C4-C5: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. C5-C6: there is minimal bulging of disc toward right side lateral recess without definitive evidence of nerve root compression. no spinal stenosis is seen. C6-C7: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. C7-T1: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis.
1. Minimal focal bulging of disc at the level of C56 toward left side lateral recess as described above.2. Otherwise unremarkable C spine MRI.
