author keywords: cervical radiculopathy; intraforaminal disc herniation; magnetic resonance imaging; thoracic limb lameness
TL;DR: NRS is most prevalent with C6‐C7 intervertebral disc involvement, suggesting that there might be unique anatomic factors that contribute to development of NRS at this site, but can be a clinical manifestation of IVDH occurring anywhere along the cervical spine. (via Semantic Scholar)
