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.
Foraminal disc protrusion?
Foraminal encroachment refers to that degeneration in the spinal column which causes the obstruction of the foramina.
What does a right paramedian disc protrusion at C5 C6 causing focal complete effacement of right paramedian subarachnoid space and right side cord deformity mean and how serious is it?
A right paramedian disc protrusion at C5 - C6 that causes focal complete effacement is often referred to as a herniated disc. It can compress nerves and cause tingling and numbness. Your physician will be able to evaluate how serious the condition is and whether it requires treatment.
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. This can be due to disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or other spinal abnormalities, and may result in symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the back or extremities. Treatment may involve conservative measures like physical therapy, medications, or in severe cases, surgical intervention.
What to MRI results mean if they say C5 C6 moderate central disk protrusion is present This causes complete effacement of the anterior thecal sac but no cord compression There are also mild posterior?
c5-c6 is the location of the disks in question. central means the 'middle' and protrusion means that there is some 'bulging'. effacement means 'showing' or 'opening' and anterior means the 'front'. posteriormeans the 'back'. this doesn't give you a diagnosis or complete answer to your question because the MD that ordered your mri should be the one answering your questions. hopefully, however, you have been given a little more knowlege of the 'lingo' to make your conversation with him/her a little less daunting and a little clearer. good luck and give your MD a call!
What does effacement of the left ventral thecal sac and possible minmal flattening of left central cervical spinal cord at c5-c6 Left framinal stenosis particularly proximal at this level mean?
Ventral means in front. Thecal sac means the sac that contain the spinal cord and cerebro spinal fluid. Effacement of the ventral thecal sac means pressure is upon the front of the sac (producing a flattening effect) most likely from a disc protrusion. Foramen means hole (where the nerve comes out of from the spinal cord). Stenosis means narrowing (usually from bony degeneration or disc herniation/protrusion/or bulge). Left foraminal stenosis means narrowing of the passageway where the nerve comes through.
