Female, 57 years old, status post C5 corpectomy and instrumentation with arm weakness. Surgical findings are evident consistent with C5 corpectomy and interbody spacer placement as well as instrumented fusion from C4 through C6. The retropharyngeal tissues are thickened and edematous from C2 through C4. Paraspinal soft tissues are otherwise unremarkable.The remaining vertebral bodies demonstrate normal morphology and signal characteristics. Spinal alignment is grossly anatomic. No pathologic marrow enhancement is seen.The visualized spinal cord shows normal signal intensity and morphology. No pathologic intracanalicular enhancement is detected.C2-3: Unremarkable. C3-4: Mild left facet hypertrophy. Minimal posterior disk osteophyte formation. No significant spinal canal stenosis or neuroforaminal narrowing.C4-5: Corpectomy. No significant spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis. C5-6: Corpectomy. No significant spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis. C6-7: No significant spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis. C7-T1: Unremarkable.
1. Postoperative findings consistent with C5 corpectomy and instrumented anterior fusion from C4 through C6. The osseous structures of the cervical spine are otherwise intact and unremarkable.2. No evidence of any other findings which would account for the patient's weakness.
