CT of the cervical spine: There was a moderate intervertebral disc herniation level with C6/7 causing compressive myelopathy. The vertebral canal diameter was occupied by 40%. The herniated disc material was centered over the intervertebral disc space and located within the ventral epidural space. There was significant dorsal deviation and thinning of the dural tube. The intervertebral disc space showed wedge shaped narrowing. Mild end plate sclerosis and mild new bone formation at the articular processes are compatible with degenerative arthropathy and indicate chronicity. There was a step formation of the vertebral canal floor level with C5/6. There was mild ventral flattening of the cranial vertebral endplates of C6 and C7. The intervertebral disc C5/6 presented moderate herniation into the ventral epidural space centered over the intervertebral disc space. Mild to moderate compressive myelopathy was present. The vertebral canal diameter was occupied by 30%. The intervertebral disc space showed wedge shaped narrowing. Minor disc protrusions were noted along all intervertebral disc spaces of the cervical spine and cervicothoracic transition. No significant compressive myelopathy was noted at this point.
