IMPRESSION: 1. Loss of normal cervical lordosis with straightening of cervical curvature. This could be due to muscle spasm. No abnormal bone marrow signal is seen. 2. Mild disc desiccation at C5/6 and C6/7 levels with mildly reduced disc height at C5/6 level. 3. Posterocentral disc prolapse with annular tear at C5/6 level causing severe central canal stenosis with compression to the cord and associated focal myelomalacic change within the cord at C5/6 level. 4. Mild bilateral C5/6 foraminal stenosis due to bilateral uncovertebral osteophytes but no impingement to the exiting nerve roots is noted. 5. Mild posterocentral disc protrusion at C6/7 level causing mild central canal stenosis but no associated cord compression is seen. No other abnormality is detected.
