I am 37 years old and had an MRI of my neck and this is what it said: The prior study demonstrated degenerative findings at the
atlantoaxial articulation, C2-C3 uncovertebral hypertrophy with
mild to moderate left foraminal narrowing, and C4-C5
uncovertebral hypertrophy with mild bilateral neuroforaminal
narrowing.
There are 7 cervical segments. Vertebral body heights and
intervertebral disc spaces are maintained. There is mild
spondylotic change in the mid lower cervical segments. There is
normal bone marrow signal. There is mild disc desiccation in the
mid cervical segments. There is straightening of the normal
cervical lordosis. The cervicomedullary junction is in
appropriate position. There is normal cervical cord signal and

caliber. There is no prevertebral soft tissue swelling.
There are mild degenerative changes of the atlantoaxial
articulation.
At C2-C3, there is mild left uncovertebral hypertrophy with
minimal left neuroforaminal narrowing. There is no significant
canal compromise the disc herniation.
At C3-C4, there is no significant disc herniation, canal
compromise, or neuroforaminal narrowing.
At C4-C5, there is no significant neuroforaminal or canal
narrowing.
At C5-C6, there is no significant disc herniation, canal
compromise, or neuroforaminal narrowing.
At C6-C7, there is no significant disc herniation, canal
compromise, or neuroforaminal narrowing.
At C7-T1, there is no significant disc herniation, canal
compromise, or neuroforaminal narrowing.
Impression:
1. No significant change in cervical spine findings since
January 2011.
2. Mild C2-C3 left uncovertebral hypertrophy with minimal left
neuroforaminal narrowing.

the findings in this report. No overlapping procedures.
