Straightening of the cervical lordosis is seen.
The mild disc osteophytic complex is noted at the C5-C6 level, which is indenting the anterior thecal sac.
Normal vertebral heights and textures were noted. There is no evidence of tonsillar ectopia.
The craniocervical junction is normal. The visualized cord shows normal signals.
Case Discussion
MRI findings are in favor of the early degenerative spine disease process in the form of loss of cervical lordosis and disc osteophytic complex, as detailed.
