What does spinal cord mean?
What does spinal cord mean?
What does Effacement of the ventral area of cerebral spinal fluid mean?
Effacement of the ventral area of cerebral spinal fluid typically refers to a compression of the normal space surrounding the brain or spinal cord due to certain conditions like enlarged blood vessels or structural defects. This compression can lead to changes in brain anatomy or function and may require medical intervention to relieve the pressure on the nervous system.
What does right paracentral disc protrusion at T6-7 with moderate effacement of right anterolateral aspect of thecal sac mean?
You have protrusion of the disc between thoracic six and seventh vertebrae. This protrusion has created indentation on the sac of dura matter on the anterolateral region of the spinal cord. This can compress your spinal cord.
What does A t 11 anD T 12 a right paracentral disc protrusion with cord effacement meaN?
A right paracentral disc protrusion at the T11 and T12 vertebral levels refers to a bulging of the intervertebral disc that is located to the right side and is encroaching on the spinal cord. This condition can lead to cord effacement, meaning the spinal cord is being compressed or flattened due to the protrusion. This can potentially result in symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the areas innervated by the affected spinal nerves. Prompt evaluation and management by a healthcare professional are often recommended to address any associated neurological concerns.
What does sulcal effacement mean?
Suical effacement and the resultant CSF increase causing pressure in the brain and spinal column causes atrophy of the brain. Death can also result from this condition.
What does effacement of the left ventral thecal sac and possible minmal flattening of left central cervical spinal cord at c5-c6 Left framinal stenosis particularly proximal at this level mean?
Ventral means in front. Thecal sac means the sac that contain the spinal cord and cerebro spinal fluid. Effacement of the ventral thecal sac means pressure is upon the front of the sac (producing a flattening effect) most likely from a disc protrusion. Foramen means hole (where the nerve comes out of from the spinal cord). Stenosis means narrowing (usually from bony degeneration or disc herniation/protrusion/or bulge). Left foraminal stenosis means narrowing of the passageway where the nerve comes through.
What does the medical abbreviation SCI mean?
Spinal Cord InjuryIn medical terms, SCI stands for spinal cord injury.1) Science2) Spinal Cord Injuryspinal cord injury
What does without nerve root effacement mean?
Without nerve root effacement means that the nerve roots exiting the spinal cord are not being compressed or displaced by nearby structures such as herniated discs or bone spurs. This is typically a positive finding on imaging studies as it suggests there is no significant pressure on the nerves that could cause symptoms like pain or numbness.
What does effacement of cfs cleft mean in cervical spine?
Effacement of the cervical spine's cleft refers to the reduction or flattening of the normal anatomical space between the vertebrae, often associated with conditions like disc herniation or spinal stenosis. This can lead to compression of nearby structures, including nerves or the spinal cord, potentially resulting in symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness. The cleft typically represents the intervertebral disc space, and effacement indicates a loss of normal curvature or separation in that area. It is an important finding in imaging studies when assessing cervical spine health.
What does invertibre mean?
A living thing that does not have a spinal cord.
Which organ system contains your spainiel cord?
You mean your spinal cord? That would be the Nervous System.
Your MRI showed you have a syrinx in the distal end of your spinal cord what does that mean?
Syringomyelia is a disorder in which a cyst forms within the spinal cord. This cyst aka syrinx expands over time, destroying a portion of the spinal cord from its center and expanding outward.
