Subject: s/l *epidural bar and broad line * pls sm

The canal was narrowed to 7 mm, and the disc osteophyte complex extended 4 mm into the canal.  At C6-7 there was moderate disc space narrowing with broad-based disc osteophyte complex, mild anterior s/l *epidural bar and broad line *central stenosis, a filling defect in the right neural foramen possibly representing a lateral disc protrusion, which would impact the exiting C7 nerve root, and a filling defect extending 7 mm in length x 4 mm.  It was uncertain whether this represented disc or disc osteophyte. 


This doesn't seem to make sense..  Any suggestions here? thanks

    Frankly, I've never quite understood the use of "pan."  It's supposed to be a prefix meaning "entire or all," but have heard it used when that just doesn't fit.
