49 years Male (DOB: 12/22/1966)Reason: cervical radiculopathy History: Right arm painPROVIDER/ATTENDING NAME: MICHAEL J LEE MICHAEL J LEE The cervical vertebral bodies are appropriate in overall alignment and height. There is reversal of the normal cervical curvature. The cervical spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology.At C2-3 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C3-4 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. There is left sided facet hypertrophy associated with mild narrowing of the left neural foramen at this level.At C4-5 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. There is right sided uncovertebral osteophyte formation. There is right sided facet hypertrophy. There is associated mild narrowing of the right neural foramen at this level.At C5-6 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. There is right sided uncovertebral osteophyte formation. There is right sided facet hypertrophy. There is associated narrowing of the right neural foramen and mild to moderate encroachment of the right sided exiting nerve roots at this level.At C6-7 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. There is bilateral uncovertebral osteophyte formation associated with narrowing of the right neural foramen and mild to moderate encroachment of the right sided exiting nerve roots at this level.At C7-T1 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.The vertebral artery flow voids appear to be intact.
1.There are multilevel degenerative changes in the cervical spine as detailed above with mild to moderate encroachment of right sided exiting nerve roots at C5-6 and C6-7.2.Reversal of the normal cervical curvature is a non-specific finding on MRI. It could be positional or related to spasm or kyphosis.
