Hello, I recently had MRI of my cervical spine. Am sharing my results and would appreciate if any of you can help me understand them
I have bad pins and needles in both hands, light headiness, aching heavy legs and bit wobbly.
Sorry for long post and thank you in advance for reading.
Findings, Cervical spine.
Moderate spondylotic changes. There is reversal of the normal cervical lordosis with multilevel disc osteophyte bars from C4 to C7.
Vertebral body heights, alignment and bone marrow signal characteristics are otherwise normal.
Axials performed from C2 - T1
C2-C3, Shallow disc osteopheyte bar but no significant central or exit foraminal stenosis, no neural compression.
C3- C4, Disc Osteophyte bar indents the Ventral CSF moderately narrowing the exit foramina with probable C4 neural irritation.
C4- C5, Disc osteophyte bar indents the ventral CSF resulting in mild to moderate right exit foraminal narrowing and possible right C5 neural irritation
C5-C6, Disc osteophyte bar indents the ventral CSF resulting in Moderate to Severe exit foraminal stenosis and possible bilateral C6 neural compression
( Right worse than left)
C6- C7, Disc osteophyte with a eccentric right - sided component indents the right hemi cord severely narrowing the right neural foramen with probable right C7 neural compression.
C7- T1, Disc osteophyte bar results in mild to moderate exit foraminal narrowing and probable C8 neural irritation.
Mild facet arthrosis.
The craniocervical junction and cervical cord returns normal signal. Normal bone marrow signal for age.
Impression: Moderate spondylotic changes with multilevel neural compression as described most pronounced from C5- C7
