What is the ventral sac?

The Ventral Thecal Sac encloses the spinal cord and the nerve endings of the lumbar regions thecal sac (cauda equina) and serves as a protection for both and for the entire lumbar spinal region. The ventral thecal sac contains cerebral spinal fluid and it also serves as a buffer for the cauda equina.

What is disc bulge with disc indenting the ventral thecal sac?

Spinal cord is covered by 3 layers and between it's 2 layer there is fluid know as csf. The spinal cord along with it's 3 layers is known as thecal sac. The above thing is a MRI finding in which the disc is just indenting the thecal sac without any compression of the neural elements. This is a insignificant finding and patient should not have any symptoms. The ventral side means the front side and the dorsal side means the back side.

What is thecal sac flattening?

Thecal sac flattening occurs when a herniated disc has into the spinal canal that it is pushing on the thecal sac. The thecal sac is the membrane of dura mater that surrounds the spinal cord and the cauda equina.


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 disc osteophyte complex with flattening of the ventral thecal sac?

You have a bone spur on the vertebrae that is protruding towards the front of your body and putting pressure on the sac of cerebrospinal fluid that encircles the brain and spinal cord.


What is a paracentral protrusion of disc effaces the epidural fat minimally effaces the thecal sac on L5 S1?

This describes a minor bulging of a spinal disc at the L5-S1 level, which is causing a slight compression of the thecal sac (the membrane surrounding the spinal cord) and minimal displacement of the epidural fat. It may lead to symptoms like low back pain or sciatica. Tracking the condition with a healthcare provider is recommended.
