 CERVICAL SPINE:Degenerative disc disease is noted within the cervical spine with disc dessication and mild loss of disc height. The marrow signal is benign. The cervical and upper thoracic cord is normal in signal without abnormal enhancement. The cervicomedullary junction is normal. The cerebellar tonsils are in normal position. The visualized paraspinal contents are unremarkable. C1/2: Normal atlantodental interval.C2/3-C4/5: No significant spinal canal stenosis or neuroforaminal narrowing. C5/6: There is a left C5 laminectomy defect present. There is also mild left uncovertebral hypertrophy but no significant spinal canal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing. C6/7: Mild facet hypertrophy and ligamentum flavum thickening is present without significant spinal canal stenosis or neuroforaminal narrowing.C7/T1: No significant spinal canal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing.THORACIC SPINE:There is a smooth, physiologic thoracic kyphotic curve. The vertebral body heights and disc spaces are maintained. Marrow signal intensity is benign throughout. The spinal cord has a smooth contour and is without focal atrophy, edema, or myelomalacia. No significant disc bulge or cord encroachment from the T1/2-T9/10 levels. At T10/11 and T11/12 there is mild facet hypertrophy and ligamentum flavum thickening without significant central canal stenosis or neuroforaminal narrowing. There is no abnormal enhancement. The visualized intrathoracic and paraspinal soft tissues are unremarkable.
1.Degenerative and post-surgical changes of the cervical spine as described above without significant spinal canal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing.2.No cervical spine of thoracic spine compression fracture is identified.
