MRI report of cervical. Nerve root.

Sagittal T1 & TSE T2 weighted scans of the cervical spine were studied and these were correlated with axial scans from C1 to D1 level. Anterior osteophytes are seen at C3 to C7 levels. Disc desiccation changes in the form of loss of normal T2 hyperintense signal intensity are seen from C3-4 to C7-D1 levels. Mildly reduced disc height is seen at C5-6 level. Posterior osteophytes disc bulge complexes are seen at C4-5 and C5-6 levels, indenting the thecal sac causing narrowing of bilateral lateral recesses and bilateral neural foramina. Posterior osteophytes disc bulge complex is seen at C6-7 level with propensity to the left. indenting the thecal sac causing narrowing of bilateral lateral recesses and abutting the left neural foramina. Posterior osteophytes disc bulge complex is seen at C7-D1 level with propensity to the left. indenting the thecal sac causing narrowing of bilateral lateral recesses, left neural foramina and impinging on the left exiting nerve root.
