With degenerative disc disease, disc bulging occurs with flattening out of the disc and subsequent spreading out. Typical bulging presents symmetrical, but sometimes a protrusion will develop that is eccentric, ie., asymmetrical bulging. An eccentric protrusion will be to one side, in this case left, sometimes causing neurologic symptoms on that side, sometimes not. A protrusion is less than 3 mm, whereas a herniation exceeds 3 mm.
What else can I help you with?
Disc bulge at c5-c6 causing indentation over thecal sac and mild left neural compromise is it dangerous situation please answer?
Disc Bulge at c5 c6 causing indentation over thecal sac and mild left nueral compromise is it dangerous situation
What is significant intervertebral disc space signal loss at C6-C7 with minor diffuse disc bulge?
Significant intervertebral disc space signal loss at C6-C7 is a nerve impingement which may be painful or cause loss of feeling. A minor diffuse disc bulge is a minor bulge of the affected disc.
What symptoms would you have with a mild c5-6 diffuse annular disc bulge?
whats problems being create whan the c5 and c6 diffuse annular disc bulge
What is mild anterior disc margin osteophytes?
posterior disc osteophyte at c5 c6 mild indentation on anterior thecal sac. there is uncinate spurring with left formaminal narrowing c5 c6 . would this require surgery?
What is C6-C7 herniation?
A herniated disc
What discs are found between the spinal cord?
Can a "severe left foraminal disc osteophyte complex and contact of the exiting C6 nerve" cause problems with vomiting?
What is a Prominent broad based posterior and lateral disc protrusion?
My husband just got his mri report, at c2-c3 minimal left foraminal, c3-c4-3mm posterior central protrusion,c4-c5-posterior annular bulging, c5-c6prominent posterior bulge/broad based protrusion causing right goraminal stenosis, c6-c7 small posterior protrusion.. He has sever pain in his left arm...what should we do..
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 is posterolateral osteophytes in MRI repors?
moderate left posterolateral osteophyte formation at the c5-c6 level casusing moderate compression of the left c6 nerve root
What is complete effacement of the anterior subarachnoid space at c5-c6 with possible minimal cord deformation?
Complete effacement of the anterior subarachnoid space at c5-c6 is a thinning out of the disc material. Minimal cord deformation is possible scoliosis in the area of c5-c6.
What do MRI results mean when they say level C5 C6 mild diffuse spondylotic disc protrusion noted causing ventral compression with thecal sac?
C5-C6 is the lower portion of your neck. The palpable bump on the back of your lower neck is C7, so we are talking about one disc level above that. This is not serious. A disc protrusion is really a disc bulge, meaning the disc is bulging or protuding out of the normal disc area between the vertebrae. In your case it is bulging anteriorly, (ventral) or towards the front. You probably have some nerve impingement, maybe numbness/tingling in your arms or thumbs. Surgery is not recommended for this mild diagnosis. Your best bet is a chiropractor who will release the pressure on nerve and traction the neck to allow the disc to come back into place.
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.
