X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE CERVICAL SPINE
FINDINGS: AP, lateral, and oblique views of the
cervical spine are submitted for evaluation.
There is marked hyperostosis
involving the mid and lower cervical vertebrae with preservation of the
intervertebral disc spaces. The overall
picture is suggestive of DISH, Forestier's disease.
Posterior elements appear to
be unremarkable.
There is no acute fracture or
subluxation. There is no prevertebral
soft tissue swelling. Odontoid process
is intact and atlantoaxial joint relationship is within normal limits.
IMPRESSION: The overall picture is suggestive of
DISH, Forestier's disease. Clinical
correlation is suggested.
Thank
you for the referral.
XXXXXXXX, M.D.
