Male, 50 years old, with neck pain, feeling unable to support head. Spinal alignment is anatomic. Vertebral body morphology is normal. No concerning marrow replacement or significant marrow edema is seen. The spinal cord shows normal signal intensity and morphology throughout. Please note that some images are degraded by motion artifact, but within this limitation, the following level specific findings are made:C2-3: Minimal thickening of the PLL. No significant spinal canal stenosis or neuroforaminal narrowing.C3-4: Mild posterior disk osteophyte formation. No significant spinal canal stenosis. Mild right foraminal narrowing.C4-5: Minimal central disk protrusion. No significant spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis. C5-6: Unremarkable. C6-7: Posterior disk osteophyte formation with a right paracentral disk protrusion. Mild generalized spinal canal stenosis. Mild bilateral foraminal narrowing. C7-T1: Unremarkable. The paraspinal soft tissues are unremarkable. The musculature of the neck as visualized is within normal limits. The ligamentous structures at the craniocervical junction are intact.
Mild degenerative disk findings as detailed above without high-grade spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis.
