IMPRESSION: Mild multilevel degenerative changes of the cervical spine as described above. INDICATION: Neck pain radiating at C6-C7. COMPARISON: None TECHNIQUE: Multi-sequence, multi-planar MR images were obtained of the cervical spine without contrast. FINDINGS: The craniocervical junction is unremarkable. The cervical vertebral bodies are normal height, signal intensity and alignment. The cervical cord is of normal signal intensity and morphology. Limited evaluation of the posterior fossa demonstrates tonsillar ectopia on the right. Level-specific findings: C2-C3: There is no neural foraminal narrowing or canal stenosis. C3-C4: Minimal posterior disk osteophyte complex without significant spinal canal stenosis and minimal bilateral neuroforaminal narrowing, right greater than left. There is a small left central disk herniation which minimally narrows the proximal left neural foramen . C4-C5: No significant spinal canal stenosis and mild bilateral neural frontal narrowing. C5-C6: Minimal posterior disk osteophyte complex without significant neural foraminal narrowing and mild bilateral neuroforaminal narrowing. C6-C7: Minimal posterior disk osteophyte complex with no significant spinal canal stenosis and mild bilateral neuroforaminal narrowing, left greater than right. C7-T1: There is no neural foraminal narrowing or canal stenosis.
