OBSERVATION :

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

Small postero-central protruded discs with peridiscal osteophytes are noted at the C4-C5 and C5-C6 levels indenting the dural theca anteriorly.

Small postero-central disc protrusions are noted at the C2-C3, C3-C4 and C6-C7 levels.

The C5 vertebral body is slightly wedged anteriorly without change in signal intensity. The upper cervical vertebral bodies show spotty fatty marrow changes.

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