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
How are stars in the disk of the milky way different from stars in the bulge or halo?
The ones in the bulge or halo are older star, the ones in the disk are younger.
What is Moderate central disk herniation?
Disk herniation refers to an injury to the pad between the vertebral lumbar bones of the spine. Moderate central disk herniation refers to moderate injury that causes back pain but without particularly?æsignificant pain in the legs.
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.
Can a disc bulge retuns to its normal place?
First of all, there are a great number of theories as to what should be called a "bulge". Before MRI, physicians could see an herniated disk with a special x-ray study called a myelogram, in which dye is injected. When MRI came about, all kinds of soft tissues were seen for the first time. Radiologists started describing disk bulges, something that had not ever been discussed before. Different radiologists will differ in what they all a bulge. A definitive article in the New England Journal of Medicine established, many years ago, that a disk "bulge" should be considered to be a normal finding. The healthy disk is elastic. If it were not, our spines would be rigid. In order to allow the bones of the spine, the vertebral bodies, to permit us to bend forward and backwards, the disk must give, bulge and stretch. If one bends forward, it must bulge in the front and straighten in the back. In the standing position, the weight of the body might cause circumferential bulging. In a large percentage of the population, the disk will have some degree of bulge, normally, even when lying flat, as on the MRI table. A disk bulge should not be confused with an herniation. A disk bulge should not be treated. Unfortunately, there are practitioners who will make a big thing of this normal MRI finding, and try to convince their patients that the cause of pain has been found and that the bulge needs to be treated. But, since a disk bulge is a normal finding, there is no need to be concerned at to whether or not it will return to its normal place. It is in its normal place already.
Whats the shape of the Milky Way?
It looks more like a gigantic disk, with a bulge in the middle.
How many disk are present in one hard disk?
Usually only one.
What type of surgery do they do to correct a disc bulge at c6 and c7?
First of all, I wouldn't have surgery for a disk bulge unless I were in severe pain for a long time and other therapeutic options (chiropractic, physiotherapy, etc) have not worked, or, if there were severe neurological symptoms that were either not improving with therapy or were getting worse. If all these things were the case, then there are a few options for surgery, dependent on the surgeon, the disk, the patients wishes, the country/region, etc. Some possibilities are: 1) remove the extrudate (material exiting the disk if it were a true herniation), or shave off some off the bulge with microsurgery 2) remove the disk and fuse the C6 and C7 vertebrae together forever 3) remove the disk and replace it with an artificial disk
Name four different objects you can find in our galaxy?
A galaxy contains stars, gas and dust. In a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, the stars, gas, and dust are organized into a "bulge," a "disk" containing "spiral arms," and a "halo." Elliptical galaxies have a bulge-like central region and a halo, but do not have a disk.
What complications are associated with cervical disk disease?
this condition can also lead to specific problems related to nerve functioning. For example, the outer edge of a disk may tear, allowing the gelatinous material inside to bulge outward (herniated disk ).
What is a ruptured disk?
The disks in question would be found between the vertebrae where they cusion the joint. Injury or degenerative disease will cause the surface of the disk to deteriorate and bulge. The bulging presses on nerves and can cause paralysis or pain.
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.
