At t10-T11 there is a central disc bulge which indents the anterior thecal sac and abuts the cord?

Herniated disks can compress the spinal cord as the nucleus pulposa pushes out forward (anteriolaterally) and can cause spinal root compression. This can lead to unilateral deficit causing weakness.

What is the anterior thecal sac?
The anterior thecal sac is a membrane that surrounds the spine. It acts as protection to the spinal cord and the cauda equina.
What is effacement of the anterior thecal sac?
Effacement of the anterior thecal sac refers to compression of the thecal sac in the spine due to conditions like disc herniation or spinal stenosis. This compression can lead to symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness in the back or limbs. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, or surgery depending on the severity of the compression.
What is mild anterior disc margin osteophytes?
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?
What is small central disc herniation indenting the ventral margin of the the the thecal sac?
A broad herniation means that at least 25% of the disc is affected. A central herniation means that the herniation is toward the spinal column. A broad central herniation of the disc with impingement on the thecal sac is a herniation in which a large portion of the disc is protruding toward the spinal column and is pressing against the membrane which surrounds the spinal cord.
What is thecal sac flattening?
Thecal sac flattening occurs when a herniated disc has into the spinal canal that it is pushing on the thecal sac. The thecal sac is the membrane of dura mater that surrounds the spinal cord and the cauda equina.
What does it mean to have Left paracentral annular tear with asymmetric disc protrusion causing anterior thecal sac compression and mild narrowing of both neural foraminae Can it be cured completely?
What do they do for this. It is some kind of operation done?
What is narrowing of the the thecal?
The narrowing of a thecal sac depends on where it is located. It might be a bulging disc or a pinched nerve.
How do you cure thecal sac?
The thecal sac is a normal part of the human anatomy and doesn't need to be cured.
Can thecal sac be cured?
The thecal sac is a normal part of the human body. It is not a condition that needs to be cured.
What is moderate central thecal sac effacement and mild bilateral foraminal stenosis?
At C2-3, a broad-based disk bulge. Spinal canal and formina are patent
What is deformity of the thecal sac?
A thecal sac deformity is usually associated with a herniated disc, however some thecal sac deformities are congenital. If the deformity is associated with a herniated disc, surgery may be recommended.
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.
