H/O lifting heavy weights.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the cervico-dorsal spine was performed using the following parameters :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.

OBSERVATION :

There is a right postero-lateral disc herniation at the C5-C6 level with antero-lateral indentation of the cord and right neural foraminal narrowing. There is indentation upon the right C6 nerve root.

Small right paracentral disc herniation is noted at the C3-C4 level.

Small postero-central disc protrusions are seen at the C4-C5 and C6-C7 levels. The cervical and visualized upper dorsal intervertebral discs show loss of water content.

The visualized cervico-dorsal vertebral bodies show normal signal intensity. The joints of Luschka and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.






The visualized cervico-dorsal spinal cord reveals normal signal intensity.

The atlanto-axial region and the cervico-medullary junction are unremarkable.
