What is C6-C7 herniation?
A herniated disc
Will you need surgery at C6-C7 there is a central to left central to foraminal herniation that causes central left central canal and left neuroforaminal stenosis?
Need of surgery or indication for surgery at C6-C7 depends on clinical features rather than on MRI findings. If you have no pain or no neurological deficits there is no need of surgery. If there is a correlation between clinical features and MRI findings then there is an indication for surgery to remove your suffering.
What is broad shallow disc herniation at c6-c7 larger near the midline with encroachment upon the thecal sac and spinal cord?
wide herniation that is larger at center mid-line pushing the disc out and beginning to but not yet touch or push on the thecal sac.
What is mild ventral extradural defect at the L3-L4?
There are ventral extradural impressions noted at c5/c6 and c6/c7 with effacementof ventral aspect of the cervical cord at c5/c6 and c6/c7.
Where is c5-c6 and c6 and c6-c7 of the spine?
The C6 and C7 vertebrae are the lowest two vertebrae of the cervical (neck) portion of your spine. The C7 can typically be identified by feeling the spinous process (a bony protrudance) of C7 at the base of your neck where it intersects with your back and shoulders. The C6 vertebrae would be directly above it.
What is right para central herniation C6?
It is a protrusion (herniation) of disc material near the center of the spine (paracentral), in this case just to the right of center. The C6 designation indicates the herniation is located in the Cervical spine (neck) at the level of the 6th cervical vertebral space (there are a total of seven cervical vertebra -- C1 through C7). A couple of useful reference/education sites are www.spineuniverse.com and www.spine-health.com. Hope this helps!Bunny
What do MRI results mean when they say level C6-C7 demonstrates a small central disc protrusion associated with?
That means there is a bulging disc that is impinging on the central canal (spinal cord) between the vertebral bodies at the C6-C7 levels, which may or may not be symptomatic.
What does a buldging c6 and c7 mean?
It means there is a bulging between the 6th and 7th vertebrae in the neck (cervical part of the spine).
What is C3-c7 neural foraminal narrowing?
Narrowing of the neural formina at the C7- 1 was a narrowing of the spinal canal where the nerve roots exit. This can occur with or without disc protrusion.
What does it mean when my mri report says signal loss and volume loss in c4-c5 and c6-c7 with reparative endplate enhancement at c7 superior endplate and in the foramen on the left at c6-c7?
Signal loss and volume loss in the c4-c5 and c6-c7 discs on an MRI report typically indicate degenerative changes or disc degeneration. Reparative endplate enhancement at c7 suggests a healing response to injury or inflammation. The presence of these findings may contribute to symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, or decreased range of motion.
What is a disc protrusion with osteophytes?
What is disc protrusion of the C6-C7 and how serious is it and will it need surgery? Thank you
What does Bony changes are again noted at the C6-C7 resulting in flattening of the thecal sac and mild spinal stenosis. mean?
Cervical spinal stenosis is a broad term which refers to a range of symptoms which can result from the narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck. ... This canal sits directly behind the bony blocks, or veterbrae which form the spine. It contains the ... This is known as cervical foraminal stenosis.
