What does diffuse dicc bulge effacing the ventral aspect of the thecal sac and moderate flattening of spinal cord suggestive of moderate spinal cord stenosis mean?

This means that there is a build up of calcium that has attached to the spine. This result is pressure being placed on any soft tissue in the area. The pressure to the disc ("disc bulge") (This tells the location on the spinal column that the bone spur has formed "effacing the ventral aspect of the thecal sac" is causing pressure to the spinal cord resulting in partial flattening to the cord. This is more common than formerly thought. The term most commonly used is "bone spur". They form anywhere there is bone. If the pain is severe, or the condition is disabling, surgery is recommended to remove the build up of the bone spur.

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.
