Break it down: MC Hammer style
Ventral is for humans front part of the body (ie. the chest, knees, face, etc)
Extra is outside
Dural is having to do with the dura mater, one of the layers of the membranes covering the spinal cord.
So a ventral extradural defect would be some sort of defect (probably a weakness) on the outer boundary between the dura mater and the spinal cord at the belly side of the cord. It could represent anything from changes of aging to a herniated disk to a tumor. The rest of the radiology report, as well as the history and physical, will tell you the medical meaning of this description term.
There are ventral extradural impressions noted at c5/c6 and c6/c7 with effacementof ventral aspect of the cervical cord at c5/c6 and c6/c7.
Sounds to me like a presentation of a tethered cord, which is often due to spina bifida or chiari defect.
Yes, you can get an epidural with each birth.
They are the same

Heck yeah, get the epidural! Especially if you are a woman in labor!

The anagram is the medical term "epidural."
when you get the epidural could you get swelling?
