TIN Y VAGUE FOCUS OF T2 SIGNAL ALONG THE LEFT DORSAL CORD AT THE C1 LEVEL MAY BE TINY CHRONIC LESION. C5-6: SMALL CENTRAL DISC PROTRUSION CONTAINS ANNULAR FISSURE, THIS MILDLY INDENTS THE VENTRAL THECAL SAC. MINOR BULDGING OF THE POSTERIOR ANNULUS & MILD FACET ARTHROPATHY...WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? ALSO, INDICATION: SAYS MS BUT THIS IS PRIOR TO THE FINDINGS. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THESE RESULTS MEAN?
The findings of MRI scan are suggestive of degenerative changes in the cervical spine. These are age-related changes seen due to wear and tear. Regular physiotherapy can help in retarding further progression.
