A member asked:
Cervical spine mri showed normal spine curvature but straight spinal cord that didn't follow spinal curve. what is this?

Normal: The cord does not travel exactly as the bony architecture does. This is likely more of a comment by the radiologist rather than any real pathology.

Clinical correlation: Clinical correlation to your symptoms is key, but the cord can get stretched and bothered in the spine if the spinal curve is not the normal desired curve.
