You are obviously talking about MRI or CT findings probably described in a radiologists report. ?Essentially these are findings describing what is seen on these pictures of your cervical spine (neck). ?Moderate here simply means that what they are talking about is not mild, but it is not severe. ?The central canal here is the space that the spinal cord is in. ?A neural foramen is the hole that the nerve root comes out of, in this case the C6 nerve root. ?Stenosis simply means narrowing of a canal or foramen (hole). ?C5-C6 is the level in the spine that is affected.
The answer is that it may mean something significant, or it may mean nothing at all. ?Imaging findings do not always correlate with the clinical findings, i.e. problems that are seen on an MRI do not mean the patient is having symptoms or pain. ?If the neural foramen are stenotic at C5-6, then you might experience weakness in arm flexion, supination at the wrist may be weak, extension of the wrist may be weak, and problems with sensation may be seen in the thumb, index finger, and ring finger. ?If the cervical spinal cord is affected this may cause problems in your legs as well in bowel, bladder, or sexual function. ?Keep in mind that just because an MRI says that you have these things, it doesn't automatically mean you will have these symptoms. ??

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.

Do you need surgery is you have small-to-moderate sized broad-based disk protrusion that is right paracentral?
If you are symptomatic then you may require surgery. Your spine specialist is the best judge.
What is a broad based central disc protrusion that is superimposed on moderate generalized disc bulging?
You have injured a disc in your back ( little shock absorbers between your vertebrae ), and it is bulging out at the site of the injury. Take care or it may become herneated or rurtured.

This could affect your range of motion.You may also have some numbness or tingling

What is moderate bilateral facet hypertrophy at L5-S1?
Moderate bilateral facet hypertrophy at L5-S1 refers to the enlargement or overgrowth of the facet joints at the fifth lumbar vertebra and first sacral vertebra in the spine. This condition is commonly seen in degenerative spine disorders such as osteoarthritis. The hypertrophy can lead to narrowing of the spinal canal, which may result in compression of the spinal nerves and cause symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, injections, or in severe cases, surgery.
What does L4-5 Annular bulge touching thecal sac resulting in moderate central stenosis with bilateral centrally located L5 neural abutment mean?
There's a bulge pushing through the ring holding the vertebral disk between L4 and L5. The bulge is narrowing the opening for the spinal cord somewhat, and is also touching both sides of the nerves coming off the spinal cord at L5.
