What does it mean when it says mild diffuse disc bulge effacing the thecal sac with minimal narrowing of the neuro foramina in an MRI?
In order to best help translate, lets break this sentence down into smaller parts to explain it:A "diffuse disc bulge" refers to one of the discs in your spine. The discs separate the bones of your spine, called vertebrae, and provide cushion support as well as motion to the vertebrae. A diffuse bulge of one of these discs refers to the disc bulging out from all sides (right, left, front, and back), except not the top or bottom."effacing the thecal sac" means that that diffuse disc bulge is contacting the thecal sac such that being able to see that sac is obscured by the diffuse disc bulge. Thecal sac refers to the the "sac" which is a membrane (called dura mater) that contains the spinal cord and cerebrospinal fluid. All this statement implies is that the disc bulge is contacting the membrane that contains the spinal cord."minimal narrowing of the neuro foramina" - probably you meant neural foramina. At each level in the spine where there is a disc, right and left nerve roots come out to innervate tissues in the body. The holes that they come out are called neural foramina. This statement means that the size, or diameter, of those holes has been minimally narrowed by this diffuse disc bulge.
