Dissection of carotid artery [I77.71], Reason for Study: ^Reason: Evaluate for radiculopathy, myelopathy History: LUE weakness, radiating pain There is straightening of cervical spine.The vertebral body height is preserved.Spinal cord signal intensity 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: minimal bulging of disc. no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. C5-C6: Disc desiccation. Diffuse bulging of disc which abuts thecal sac results minimal spinal canal stenosis. C6-C7: Broad-based central to left disc protrusion which abuts thecal sac. Minimal left lateral recess and spinal canal stenosis are seen. C7-T1: no neuroforaminal narrowing or spinal stenosis. T1-2: There is about 6mm sized perineural cyst on the right side. Otherwise unremarkable.
1. Multilevel disc degenerations as described above (C45, C56 and C67).2. Central to left broad based disc protrusion at C67. 3. Perineural cyst on the right side of T1-T2 level.
