[roytown]

Good Morning,
All

Iam sorry I was not able to finish my question regaruding my latest mri as you will see under comments my first posting,  this is roytown once again:

At C2-C3, no cord compression or foraminmal narrowing.

At C4-C5- leavel diffuse of the osteophyte complex moderatly flatening of cord.  Uncovertebral left foraminal narrowing. Stable moderate-sever right foraminal narrowing.

At C5-C6 posterior osteophyic ridging moderatly flattens the cord.  Stable svere bilateral foraminal narrowing.

At C6-C7 diffuse disk osteophyte complex. Superimposed posterocentral transversely oriented annular tear. Moderate anterior cord flattening stable. Stable sever left and moderate-severe right foraminal narrowing.

At C7-T1, diffuse disk osteophyte complex, eccentric to the right. It causes mild right anterior hemicord.

Thank You Roytown

Hi,

Your MRI findings are indicative of cervical spondylosis although a correlation with clinical symptoms and clinical exam is a must.
Diffuse osteophyte complexes are seen in this condition. The osteophyte complex usually put pressure on the spinal cord causing flattening of the spinal cord. There is also some neuroforaminal narrowing. Neuroforamina are spaces in the spinal cord through which nerve roots exit the cord and go on to supply the body.
It is quite possible that you have symptoms of nerve compression like tingling numbness in the upper extremities.

Hope this helps!
