MRI SCAN OF CERVICAL SPINE
Multiplanar MR imaging of the cervical spine was performed using a phased-array spine coil and large FOV.
Findings:
The cervical lordosis is maintained.
The alignment of the vertebrae is normal.
The marrow within the vertebrae reveals normal signal intensity.
The vertebral height appear normal.
No focal bony lesion is seen.
Disc dessication is noted of all cervical intervertebral discs.
C2-C3: There is no significant disc bulge or herniation. Nerve roots appear normal. The spinal canal diameter measures- 13mm. No evidence of canal stenosis noted.
C3-C4: Disc osteophyte complex is noted indenting the anterior subarachnoid space. Nerve roots appear normal. The spinal canal diameter measures-10 mm. No evidence of canal stenosis noted.
C4-C5: Disc osteophyte complex is noted indenting the anterior subarachnoid space. Nerve roots appear normal. The spinal canal diameter measures-11.7 mm. No evidence of canal stenosis noted.
C5-C6: Disc osteophyte complex is noted indenting the anterior subarachnoid space. Nerve roots appear normal. The spinal canal diameter measures-10.8 mm. No evidence of canal stenosis noted.
C6-C7: There is no significant disc bulge or herniation. Nerve roots appear normal. spinal canal diameter measures- 13 mm. No evidence of canal stenosis noted.
Spinal cord is normal in thickness and reveals normal signal intensity. No focal area of abnormal signal is detected within the cord. No intraspinal mass lesion is detected. The cranio-vertebral junction appears normal. There is no evidence of atlanto-axial dislocation, tonsillar herniation or syringomyelia.
No abnormality is detected in the preverterbral region. The vascular structures are normal. Spinal canal measurements are within normal limits.
IMPRESSION:
Disc osteophyte complex at C3-C4, C4-C5 and C5-C6 levels indenting the anterior subarachnoid space. Nerve roots appear normal. No canal stenosis noted.
