That just means the disc between C4 and C5 is mashed out (like pushing down on a marshmellow) straight toward the middle of the spinal canal, where the spinal cord runs. Unless there are other abnormalities --such as bone-crowding of the canal as with short-pedicles-- this (0in many cases isn't something to worry about...
pain in neck had a car accident what is causing the pain
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..
look at the trans pan if its a c5 it will be square with i think 13 bolts the c4 has the same pan i heard the c5 is 7in long and the c4 is 6 something
spinal cord
i have been miserable with pain in neck and shoulders and more,went to the er and the results show there is straightening to the normal curvature.on c2-c3 there is moderate disc bulging. without disc herniation. c3 and c4 there is broad disc herniation present extending to the right midlin.There is evidence of central canal and right sided forminal narrowing.on c4 - c5 broad disc/ridge complex is present.there is mild centralcanal narrowing and mild left foraminal narrowing. c5 and c6 there is mild disc bulging without disc herniation.Cuts at lung aspices are unremarkable.multilevel disc disease.
Congenital blocked c4 c5 vertebrae is the two cervical (or neck) vertebrae (C4 and C5) fused together, existing at birth, underdeveloped, and which, on x-rays, give the appearance of a more or less solid bony mass.
YES, if it's the stock c5 pan. The stock c5 pan has a hump in the middle of the pan for the transmission oil pickup, that is the only difference. However if it is changing or switching pans you are doing, there is some wiggle room. Since the c5 pan has the hump and the c4 pan is flat, you can put a c5 pan on a c4 trans. but you can't put a STOCK c4 pan on a c5 trans. Why did I emphasize stock? because if you can get a deep enough aftermarket c4 pan think it has to be deeper than 4 inches) it will clear the c5's oil pickup. So in other words if you get a deep enough c4 pan (deeper that 4 in. I think...) it will fit on a c5.
C4 or C5 vertebra.
Atlas and axis
what is a payout for having surgery and fusing c4,c5,c6,c7 and having permanant damage to right index finger.
Osteophytic encroachment of the neural central joints at C5-6 is when degeneration of a disc causes obstruction. This obstruction occurs at the foramina at C4-5.
I do know that this can cause a great deal of pain in the shoulder and arm, compression means that it is on the spinal cord. I think I would consider surgery.
