Hello,
These MRI findings indicate discal herniation in the cervical vertebral column, which is compressing the spinal cord. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a spinal surgeon. In the meantime, holding a cervical collar would be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
