X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE CERVICAL SPINE - 2

X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE CERVICAL SPINE

FINDINGS:  Views of the cervical spine shows disc space narrowing at C5-C6 and
C6-C7.  Oblique films suggest some osteophyte encroachment upon the neuroforamina at these levels and a cervical MRI is recommended for more definitive diagnosis.

The remaining vertebral body heights and disc spaces appear normally maintained.  The retropharyngeal and retrotracheal air space appears to be normal.

IMPRESSION:  Degenerative changes of the cervical spine at C5-C6 and C6-C7 as noted.  An MRI is recommended for further evaluation.


Thank you for the referral.
XXXXXXXX, M.D.
