Mild to moderate central canal stenosis at the c3-4 through c5-6 and mild ventral cord compression?

It's a big disk bulge that is pressing on the spinal cord. In addition the spinal canal, which is the space where the cord runs through, is narrowed. It's generally not a good situation and can require surgery if conservative treatment fails.

What is mild to moderate left foraminal stenosis?
Moderate left foraminal stenosis is compression of the cervical spinal nerves that travel through a narrowing of the foramina. Causes of the narrowing include herniated disc material and bone spurs in the neck.
What is icd 9 code for neural foraminal stenosis?
The ICD-9 code for neural foranimal stenosis is 724.9. Foranimal stenosis is nerve compression of the nerve that leaves the spinal canal through the foramen. It can occur in the neck or lower back.
What is moderate canal stenosis at l5s1?
Narrowing of the space that nerves of the spinal chord pass through, Usually caused by age, trauma or arthritis.
What is lumbar stenosis?
It is horrible. Your back never stops hurting and it causes your knees and ankles to hurt also. Answer Pain, numbness, weakness or tingling in the arms/hands and the legs may indicate cervical spinal stenosis. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis experience the same symptoms but limited to the lower back, legs, and feet.
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.
What does stenosis of the right foramen mean?
narrowing of the right opening through which the nerve passes
What is Tricuspid valve stenosis?
usually doesn't require treatment. However, if there is damage to other valves in the heart as well, then surgical repair or replacement must be considered.
What is established through compression testing?
Compression testing is done on engines and it establishes whether the engine has good compression. Good compression is needed for the engine to start easily and run efficiently.
Bilateral neural foraminal stenosis?
The Radiology report indicates that there's a a narrowing (stenosis) on both sides (bilateral) of the foramen, which are the holes through each vertebrae where the nerves exit. Stenosis common in most people as they age, though it can happen faster in cases where there's a spinal degeneration problem or other disease.
How do sediments turn into rock?
Through time and compression.
What exactly is Ligamentous Hypertrophy?
Hypertrophy of the ligaments in the vertebral canal of the spinal column can narrow the canal (stenosis) to the point that the spinal cord and/or nerve roots running through the canal are compressed. When the posterior longitudinal ligament in front and ligamentum flavum behind the spinal cord hypertrophy the cord is almost "circumferentially" surrounded and compressed.Hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum laterally near the facet joint can also contribute to foraminal narrowing (stenosis) with potential nerve compression (pinching).Source(s):uscneurosurgerysearch.yahoo.com
What is biforaminal stenosis?
Biforaminal is the narrowing of the nerve outlets on both sides of a vertebrae. These nerves are from the spines that pass through the vertebra.
