Ligamentum flava hypertrophy (MR).

PROTOCOL:   T1W and T2W – Sagittal scans
          T2W 3D Axial scans


FINDINGS:

-The cervical spine shows abnormal straight curvature causing mild diffuse disc bulge of C5-6.

-Vertebrae show normal height, alignment and marrow signal intensities.

-Evidence of cervical spondylosis.
-Mild hypertrophy of ligamentum flava opposite disc C2-3 resulting in posterior indentation of the cord.

-The intervertebral discs show abnormal MR morphology and signal intensities.  
No other significant diffuse disc bulge / focal disc protrusion is visualized in this study.

-Spinal cord is normal in bulk and signal intensity.
-Paravertebral muscles show normal MR morphology and signal intensity.


OPINION:

• Mild disc bulge at the level of C5-6.
• Degenerative disc disease.
• Cervical spondylosis.
• C2-3 ligamentum flava hypertrophy.
