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.

What does extradural mean?
You have the meninges to cover the brain and spinal cord. Meninges composed of three layers. Outer most is tough and called as dura matter. Extradural means between the dura matter and the skull. Typically the middle meningeal artery brakes to give you that extradural hematoma. It is also called as epidural hematoma. The British spell it as haematoma. The US should spell it as hematoma, I guess.
