Reason: cervical radiculopathy versus carpal tunnel History: neck pain numbness/tingling to hands, greater to the left The cervical vertebral bodies are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The cervical spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology.At C2-3 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.This has minimally changed when compared to the prior exam.At C3-4 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina. There is a disk bulge associated with uncovertebral osteophytes more prominent on the left versus the right side at this level but no significant compromise to the spinal canal exiting nerve roots.At C4-5 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C5-6 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C6-7 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.At C7-T1 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal or neural foramina.The vertebral artery flow voids appear to be intact.
There mild degenerative changes present in the cervical spine worse at C3-4 which are stable when compared to prior exam.
