Cervical radicular pain after whiplash. Craniovertebral junction appears within normal limits. The cervical vertebral bodies are appropriate in height. Alignment is maintained. Bone marrow signal is within normal limits. No evidence of ligamentous injury. No hematomas involving the spinal canal. The cervical spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology.Minimal degenerative changes are present in the cervical spine with mild multilevel disc desiccation as well as mild ligamentum flavum thickening at the C4-C5, C5-C6, and C6-C7 levels. There are minimal disc bulges at C3-C4, C4-C5, and C5-C6 levels. There is a small corticated ossification involving the posterior aspect of the right C5-C6 facet joint which may be related to remote trauma and present on recent CT cervical spine from 1/6/2016. No associated edema. Tiny perineural cysts incidentally noted at the left C3-C4 level.Individual levels as below:C2-3: No significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.C3-4: No significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.C4-5: No significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.C5-6: No significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.C6-7: No significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.C7-T1: No significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.The vertebral artery flow voids appear to be intact. Paraspinous soft tissue structures appear within normal limits.
No evidence of ligamentous injury in the cervical spine. Minimal degenerative changes are seen without evidence of spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis at any level in the cervical spine.
