The spinal cord is broken into a front (ventral) and back (dorsal). A hemicord impingement means that there is some kind of structure encroaching on half of the spinal cord. In this case, it seems like the right half of the cord is being damaged, more so near the front. A problem with the right half of the cord could leave someone with a lack of proprioception and motor control on the right, below the damaged area, and a lack of pain and temperature on the left, below the damaged area.

What is central cord impingement?
A central cord impingement is an incomplete injury to the cervical spinal cord. A central cord impingement results in extensive motor weakness in the upper extremities.
What does impingement of the ventral lateral surface of the cord at c4-5 with severe spinal stenosis mean?
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal. The spinal canal is the space in your spinal column designed to house and protect the spinal cord. The 7 bones of your neck are known as cervical vertebrae. The narrowing of your spinal canal is most severe at the level of the 4th and 5th cervical vertebrae (C4-5.) Impingement is a term that describes a body structure, usually bone, pushing into either a nerve structure or part of the cord. The cord is divided into ventral, or front, and dorsal, or back. Also the lateral, or side structure are being affected. To sum up, at the level of the 4th and 5th vertabrae of the neck, you have an impingement of the front and side portion of your spinal cord.It means narrowing.
What blood vessels leave the left ventral to the finger tips and back to the right atrium?
ggg
How can you tell which side of the heart is the ventral surface on a sheeps heart?
The left side of the heart is the ventral surface on a sheep's heart. Look for the ventral grooves to identify it.
What would happen if the ventral root was cut?
ventral root from the ventral horn of the spinal cord is motor. If ventral root is cut it will lead to to a kind of paralysis called flaccid paralysis. This is because ventral horn contains lower motor neurons. As such the skeletal muscle innervated by the root is paralysed
What is impingement upon the thecal sac?
The thecal sac is the covering for the spinal cord. This can be seen on an MRI. Impingement means that something is pressing on it.
Is the naval of a killer whale a dorsal or ventral?
