MRI results

by Johnny262, Apr 18, 2008 04:12PM
Please help me understand my MRI results:

C4-5 Broad based central disc protrusion indents the ventral thecal sac with disc material abutting the ventral surface of the cord. Mild spinal stenosis with AP diameter of the canal measuring 10.0 mm. Ample CSF space is preserved sorsal to the cord. There is no neural foraminal stenosis.

Impression: 1 Small broad based disc protrusion at C4-5 with mild spina stenosis as described.

Report: Included images of the cervical spine demonstrate mild degenerative disc disease at C4-5

T5-6 Small right paracentral disc protrusion indents the right ventral half of the cord. No significant spinal stenosis or neural foraminal stenosis.

The Lumbar spine without contrast - No significant lumbar spinal stenosis. Mild lumbar facet arthropathy.

According to the MRI report the rest of the spine seems fine.

Any thoughts?
