Name of the Patient : Abc Xyztar Llmn / M / 34 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc XyzJain.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O neck pain and giddiness.

EXAMINATION :

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

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

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

OBSERVATION :

The cervical intervertebral discs show loss of water content.

A posterior disc herniation with large posterior peridiscal osteophytes is seen to indent the thecal sac at the C5-C6 level.

A postero-central disc herniation is seen to indent the thecal sac at the C4-C5 level.

A posterior disc bulge is noted at the C3-C4 level.

Small posterior peridiscal osteophytes are noted at the C3-C4 and C4-C5 levels.

The facet joints at the C4-C5 level show degenerative changes.

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

R>
The cervical spinal cord reveals normal signal intensity.

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

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of :

1. A posterior disc herniation with large posterior peridiscal osteophytes at the C5-C6 level.

2. A postero-central disc herniation with facetal arthropathy at the C4-C5 level.

3. Small posterior peridiscal osteophytes at the C3-C4 and C4-C5 levels.
