Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE:

C/O backache (since 0000) neck pain radiating to the LUE with paresthesias since 1 1/2 years.

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.

IMAGE QUALITY IS SLIGHTLY DEGRADED AS THE PATIENT WAS OVERWEIGHT AND HAD A SHORT NECK. THE STUDY COULD, HENCE, NOT BE CARRIED OUT IN THE REGULAR CERVICAL SPINE-COIL.

OBSERVATION :

There is loss of water content of the cervical intervertebral discs.

A right postero-lateral peridiscal osteophtye is noted at the C3-C4 level with resultant right neural foraminal narrowing.

A small, right paracentral protruded disc is noted at the C4-C5 level, indenting the dural theca anteriorly.

Small, postero-central protruded discs are noted at the C5-C6 and C6-C7 levels.
Scan-00001


The cervical vertebral bodies show spotty fatty marrow changes. The joints of Luschka and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.

The cervical spinal cord shows normal signal intensity.

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

IMPRESSION :

1. A right postero-lateral peridiscal osteophtye at the C3-C4 level with resultant right neural foraminal narrowing.

2. A small, right paracentral protruded disc at the C4-C5 level.

3. Small, postero-central protruded discs at the C5-C6 and C6-C7 levels.
