Female, 61 years old, with cervicalgia, history of C2 hypodensity on MRI, hot spot on PET. Degeneration of the left C2-3 facet joint is again seen with edema of the marrow, a small amount of fluid in the joint space, and associated enhancement of both the marrow and the adjacent soft tissues. On comparison with the prior MRI, the findings have not significantly changed. Elsewhere, no marrow edema, replacement or enhancement is seen. Slight reversal of the cervical lordosis is unchanged. Vertebral body heights are preserved. Relatively mild degenerative findings are again seen without significant interval change. Foraminal narrowing on the left at C2-3, on the right at C4-5, bilaterally at C5-6 and bilaterally at C6-7 is unchanged.
Redemonstration of left C2-3 facet degeneration with evidence of associated edema and enhancement. Findings have not significantly changed from the prior MRI examination. No new lesions are seen.
