Osteophytes are bone spurs, a sign of Arthritis. Basically, it says you have arthritis in your neck, with bone spurs protruding toward the back of the spine at levels C3 through C5. Whether this has any causative effect on any symptoms you may or may not be experiencing is impossible to determine from your question.
posterior disc osteophyte at c5 c6 mild indentation on anterior thecal sac. there is uncinate spurring with left formaminal narrowing c5 c6 . would this require surgery?
My husband just got his mri report, at c2-c3 minimal left foraminal, c3-c4-3mm posterior central protrusion,c4-c5-posterior annular bulging, c5-c6prominent posterior bulge/broad based protrusion causing right goraminal stenosis, c6-c7 small posterior protrusion.. He has sever pain in his left arm...what should we do..
There are bone spurs on the back of the bone being studied.
C3 and C4 posterior disc osteophyte complex refers to the bony growths (osteophytes) that develop at the intervertebral disc levels between the third and fourth cervical vertebrae, often due to degenerative changes. This condition can lead to spinal stenosis or nerve compression, causing pain or neurological symptoms. Posterior ligamentous hypertrophy involves the thickening of the ligaments at the back of the spine, which can also contribute to narrowing of the spinal canal and further exacerbate symptoms. Together, these conditions can significantly impact cervical spine function and mobility.

C5 and C6 are cervical vertebrae found in the neck. Anterior osteophytes of C5 and C6 are bone spurs that have formed on the front portion of vertebrae 5 and 6 in your neck. This can be a very painful condition.

Nervous innervation to the diaphragm is from the C3-C4-C5 spinal nerve roots.
Petroleum C3, C4, and C5 refer to the alkanes and alkenes with three, four, and five carbon atoms, respectively. C3 compounds, primarily propane and propylene, are used as fuels and in the production of plastics. C4 compounds include butane and butylene, which serve as fuels and feedstocks for petrochemical processes. C5 compounds, like pentane and isopentane, are utilized in gasoline blending and as solvents in various industrial applications.
The deltoid is innervated by the axillary nerve which originates from the ventral rami of the C5 and C6 spinal nerves, via the superior trunk, posterior division of the superior trunk, and the posterior cord of the brachial plexus.
This sounds like someone reading an MRI report. It basically is arthritic changes with ageing
