Evaluate C5/C6 central disc bulge and C6/C7 left foraminal stenosis: pain in the left arm -- radiculopathy. There is a 4 mm thick posterior disc-osteophyte complex at the C5-6 level, which slightly indents the left aspect of the spinal cord and mildly narrows the left neural foramen at this level. There is no abnormal spinal cord signal, however. There is also an eccentric left disc-osteophyte complex that moderately narrows the left neural foramen at this level. There is no significant spinal canal or neural foramen stenosis at the other cervical spine levels. There is straightening of the vertebral column in the sagittal plane. The vertebral body and disc space heights are preserved. The vertebral bone marrow signal is unremarkable. There is no significant spinal canal stenosis. The paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
