Anterolisthesis of C4 with respect to C5 on flexion secondary to degenerative facet joints. This likely contributes to canal stenosis at C4/5
Case Discussion
On MRI imaging alone it is difficult to appreciate the facet joint instability at C4/5. This case demonstrates the value of functional imaging.
