Hi there!

The MRI describes degenerative changes and dehydration of the intervertebral discs throughout the cervical spine and narrowing of the spaces that carry the spinal nerves at all levels of the cervical spine with variation in severity. At C4/C5 and C5/C6 there is disc bulge causing narrowing of the spinal canal. C6/C7 is post ACDF.
Hope this helps.

Take care!
