Female, 51 years old, with bilateral upper extremity neuropathy. Spinal alignment is anatomic. Vertebral height and morphology are within normal limits. No evidence of marrow replacement or edema is seen. A focus of T2 hyperintensity within the C7 vertebral body is nonspecific but likely benign. The visualized spinal cord shows normal signal intensity and morphology allowing for motion artifact. No epidural lesions are suspected. Minimal if any disc degeneration is seen at lower cervical levels. No significant spinal canal compromise is seen. Mild foraminal narrowing is seen on the left at C5-6 largely due to facet arthropathy. The thyroid gland is enlarged and nodular, particularly the left lobe.
Mild degenerative changes without significant spinal canal stenosis or specific cord abnormalities. Foraminal narrowing is evident on the left at C5-6. Incidental note is made of an enlarged and nodular thyroid gland.
