6/22/18 CLINICAL HISTORY: neck pain; COMPARISON: 06/16/2014. TECHNIQUE: 6 views of the cervical spine were obtained Including lateral flexion and extension views. FINDINGS: There is straightening of the cervical lordotic curve in the neutral position. There are fusion changes at the C4-C5 and C5-C6 levels with anterior fixation hardware components and intervertebral appliances. There is no definitive evidence of fracture or subluxation. The remainder of the nonperfusion intervertebral disc spaces are adequately maintained. At C3-C4 there is a mild degree of right-sided foraminal narrowing. Minor right-sided foraminal narrowing is also present at C4-C5 and C5-C6. The prevertebral soft tissues are within normal limits.
