Here is what the report says:
At C4-5, there is a loss of height and signal of the intervertebral disc, consisent with mild disc degeneration. There is concentric disc bulge without herniation. There is mild posterior endplate osteophyte formation and there is mild bilateral uncovertebral osteophyte formation. These findings create effacement of CSF anterior to the normal appearing cord, as well as slight asymmetric narrowing of the proximal aspect of the right C4-5 neural foramen. At C5-6, there are similar changes of disc degeneration. There is moderate concentric disc buldge without herniation. There is posterior endplate osteophyte formation and bilateral uncovertbral osteophyte formation. These finding create moderate asymmertric stenosis at the right neural foramen.
What does this mean?
Thanks!@

i had a mri what doed this mean mideline sagittal t1 and t2weighted images andtransaxialgradient echo images are included.mild to moderately dilated syrinx mild ti moderate degree of leftparacentral discherniation at c5-6 with mild mass effect over the spinalcord.the other intervetrebral discs appear normal. s inal foranima are intact.no other cord lessions are identified impressions mild to moderate degree of left parcentral disc herniation at c5-6 level mild to moderately enlarged syrinx thank u for any help u can give me on this dont undrestand all . will i have to have surgery if so please explaine
