At C6-7‚ there are mild degenerative disc space changes along with a broad- based disc bulge and some posterior ligamentous thickening resulting in mild to moderate canal stenosis without any significant foraminal stenosis or nerve root compression. There is no abnormal spinal cord signal or any true spinal cord compression. Per office visit note dated 11/20/2015‚ patient complained of neck pain.

Pg. 969 This occurred because Allen’s spinal cord has decreased perfusion due to damage‚ and a broken vertebral bone. Also‚ there has been a disruptions of the sympathetic fibers of his autonomic nervous system therefore it can no longer stimulate the heart. Allen likely has spinal shock. 2.
