Name of the Patient : Abc XyzSollmn / F / 38 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzauhan.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O neck pain radiating to the LUE with paresthesias since 1 month.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the cervical spine was performed using the following parameters :

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) axial images.

OBSERVATION :

There is loss of normal cervical lordosis and loss of water content of the cervical intervertebral discs.

There is a fairly large, left postero-lateral extruded disc at the C4-C5 level with left neural foraminal narrowing and indentation on the left C5 nerve root. Slight superior and inferior migration of the disc fragment is noted.

A smaller, postero-central disc herniation is noted at the C5-C6 level.

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

The cervical spinal cord reveals normal signal intensity.

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