![]() I have posted earlier with no response... maybe too long/ I have neuro appt for spinal compression at C-4... above 12 year old fusion c5-c7.. The neurologist said this is urgent surgery but, not emergent. here is the short version of the MRI... C4-5: Moderate to large disc-osteophyte complex with large left paracentral disc extrusion, somewhat greater in the interval. The extrusion protrudes roughly 4 mm posterior to the posterior spinal line, extending minimally above and about 5-6 mm below the level of the interspace. The disc material creates mild clockwise cord rotation, as well as posterior displacement and deformation of the cord, particularly the right hemicord. At, above, and below the level of the interspace, abnormal patchy increased cord signal is shown, extending roughly 13-14 mm craniocaudally and representing a significant interval change/worsening. Substantial lateral recess effacement, particularly on the left. C5 neuroforaminal narrowing appears fairly mild on the right but severe on the left. |
