Radiculopathy, cervical region [M54.12], Reason for Study: ^Reason: left C7 radiculopathy on EMG History: pain and weakness 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. The paraspinal soft tissues and musculature are unremarkable.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 a broad-based central to left disc protrusion, however, no blood compression or spinal canal stenosis is not evident. C6-C7: Broad-based disc bulging associated with the focal disc protrusion towards left side lateral recess which abuts thecal sac and narrows left lateral recess stenosis (series 1001, image 11/11, series 701, image 20/48). Mild disc desiccation.C7-T1: Minimal bulging of disc central to right no evidence of spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis..
1. Left lateral recess stenosis due to disc protrusion at the level of C6-7 as described above.2. Disc bulging at the level of C5-6 and C7-T1 as described above.
