What is the medical term meaning Pertaining to the membranes around the brain and spinal cord?
Well, the spinal cord is the spinal cord, but when you are talking about it with the brain, they make up the central nervous system. There are also different spinal tracts and nerves depending on where they originate/end (ie spinocerebellar, corticospinal etc), so those can be referred to independently. In addition, there are meninges of the spinal cord, which are the connective membranes that enclose the spinal cord (which include the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and pia mater and the spaces in between). So depending on which part you are talking about, they can be named individually, but the spinal cord is called the spinal cord as a whole. It's "Myel-"
What is complete effacement of the thecal sac?
Complete effacement of the thecal sac refers to a condition where the space surrounding the spinal cord (thecal sac) is compressed or narrowed to the point where it is no longer visible on imaging studies such as MRI.

Treatment may involve conservative measures like physical therapy, medications, or in severe cases, surgical intervention.
