Neurosurgeon: This indicates a herniated intervetebral disc in the upper back and disc material is pressing somewhat on the spinal cord. A neurosurgeon is best qualified to review the mri and after examining the patient can advise about the significance of the disc herniation, any current neurological signs andthe prognosis for spinal cord damage, the type of potential symptoms and the various treatment options
