What is nerve root effacement?
Nerve root effacement refers to nerve root compression. This is an issue where the root of the nerve is compressed into the spine before exiting it, which can cause some painful back symptoms.
How do you treat mild annular bulge at L5-S1 and mild impression of ventral nerve roots?
You don't. The complaints will usually subside after a time.Research shows little or no benefit from an operation.
What does Large diffuse annular disc bulge contacting the traversing nerve root in the lateral recesses bilaterally?
One of the soft, cushiony discs that separates each bone in your backbone from its neighbor has begun to bulge and put pressure on two of the nerves branching out from the spinal cord.
What does without nerve root effacement mean?
Without nerve root effacement means that the nerve roots exiting the spinal cord are not being compressed or displaced by nearby structures such as herniated discs or bone spurs. This is typically a positive finding on imaging studies as it suggests there is no significant pressure on the nerves that could cause symptoms like pain or numbness.
What is the name of the bulge at the rear root of a spinal nerve?
It is called a ganglion.
What is a disc bulging?
A dorsal disc bulge is the most dangerous to correct because of the spinal cord. The diffuse dorsal disc bulge causes pain in the side of the back, tingling in the torse, all the way to the lower extremities, and lack of strength in lower extremities.
Where in the body is the sciatic nerve?

What is largest nerve in the body?
The Sciatic Nerve is the longest nerve in the body. It goes from your lower leg up to your lower back.
Which nerve supplies teres major muscle?
Lower subscapular nerve
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.
What is broad based disc bulge at c7-t1?
Broad based disc bulge is the issue of have no extra room for the person's spinal cord causing pain and numbness. Broad based disc bulge is often thought to be a pinched nerve until imagining is taken.
What is the thickest cranial nerve?
