Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I want a second opinion and clarification of two cervical MRI studies before the scheduled cervical procedure. Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
After reviewing your studies, two years ago and this year, I conclude that the situation is much better (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You had a smoothing of physiological lordosis with the formation of cervical pathological kyphosis. But now the situation is much better. But there were degenerative-dystrophic changes in the cervical spine. But they will not go away. They must be constantly monitored. You should have physical therapy, physiotherapy, possibly swimming, and sometimes anti-inflammatory therapy for life. I also recommend you to undergo the cervical vertebra stabilization procedure. Minor foraminal protrusions of intervertebral discs remained, but the median ones disappeared.
In summary, the situation is much better.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
I am almost wondering if the kyphosis described in the cervical MRI report were present in the MRI images. I can upload the cervical MRI images so that you can see if they are consistent with the report. Did you notice anterior bone spurring from C2, C3-C7? Can you please explain which condition would benefit from the cervical vertebra stabilization procedure? Additionally, what are your impressions on the T-spine injuries and curvature?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I have seen two MRIs (attachments removed to protect patient identity). And you did have severe kyphosis. But now it is stable. Regarding the spur, this is not scary. You need to undergo anti-inflammatory therapy and exercise therapy periodically. In general, I like the result of the treatment.
