A member asked:
According to mri i have slight reversed spondylolisthesis of c6. why is it reversed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unsure: A reversal of a spondylolisthesis is possibly a radiologist 's term that I am unfamiliar with.If C6 has a " spondylo" it means that it has slipped forward on the vertebral body below it(c7). If it is " reversed" it may mean that it has slipped ' backward' on c7.(retrolisthesis)...? Possibly due to disc degeneration/ facet joint arthrosis/ instability etc. Check w/ your physician about significance.
