FINDINGS: There is slight reversal of midcervical lordosis with preservation of vertebral body height and anteroposterior alignment at all levels. Disc space height is preserved throughout the cervical region. No focal aggressive marrow- containing lesions are identified. The cervical cord is of normal caliber and signal appearing of normal caliber and signal characteristics at all levels. Spondylosis is present at the following levels: C2-3: Minimal uncovertebral joint hypertrophy and facet arthropathy without frank canal or foraminal stenosis bilaterally.
C3-4: Trace uncovertebral joint hypertrophy and facet arthropathy without canal or foraminal stenosis. C4-5: Minimal facet arthropathy and trace uncovertebral joint hypertrophy without canal or foraminal stenosis. C5-6: Minimal uncovertebral joint hypertrophy and facet arthropathy without canal or foraminal stenosis. C6-7: Minimal facet arthropathy with a 2 mm focal left central disc extrusion with minimal cephalad and caudal extension to the disc space level on sagittal T2 series 3 image 6 abutting the ventral cord and contributing to mild left parasagittal canal stenosis without cord signal alteration. The foramina appear patent bilaterally. C7-T1: Minimal facet arthropathy without canal or foraminal stenosis. Prevertebral and paravertebral soft tissues appear within the range of normal on all sequences. IMPRESSION: Slight reversal of cervical lordosis with minimal cervical spondylosis primarily at C6-7 where there is a 2 mm anteroposterior dimension disc extrusion with slight cephalad and caudal migration contributing to only minimal left parasagittal canal stenosis without cord signal alteration or other complicating features. The spinal canal and foramina at the remaining levels appear widely patent.
