Uncovertebraljoint hypertrophic change with mild right foraminal stenosis.C5-C6 broad-based central disc protrusion with ventral cord abutment. Uncovertebral joint hypertrophicchange and facet degenerative change with mild left foraminal stenosis.C4-C5 broad-based central disc protrusion with near ventral cord abutment.Chronic moderate right otomastoid air cell inflammation and right maxillary sinus mucous retention cystformation partially visualized. Mild adenoidal soft tissue hypertrophy with several small cysts, favored tobe benign and reactive in with for which clinical correlation would be of value.

Here is some info about MRI wording.
Medical Dictionary & MRI/CT Terminology

It's easier to break it down per area and search the basic terms that you don't understand.

[clinical correlation would be of value]
this means the symptoms you tell your drs about.. location and pain level.
