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.

∙ 13y agoyes, u can apply water over it for few min then try to remove it .it will be less pain full.

∙ 9y agoThere is protrusion of the nucleus pulposus on the backside. This has created indenting on the thecal sac. It may compress the spinal cord or cauda equina.

What can be done for osteophyte complex with slight impressio on ventral thecal sac
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 effaces the ventral thecal sac?
It is where the nerves go and spinal fluid is and protects spinal cord
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 Dessication of the disc?
what is a multilevel disc desiccation with posterior disc/spur at C-4-c5.c6.c7 effacing the ventral thecal sac and contracting the ventral cord
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 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 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.
How do you cure thecal sac?
The thecal sac is a normal part of the human anatomy and doesn't need to be cured.
Can thecal sac be cured?
The thecal sac is a normal part of the human body. It is not a condition that needs to be cured.
What is prognosis of a mild effacement of ventral thecal sac without significant spinal canal stenosis.?
mild disfuse disc bulging with subtle 72 hyperintense signal
What is deformity of the thecal sac?
A thecal sac deformity is usually associated with a herniated disc, however some thecal sac deformities are congenital. If the deformity is associated with a herniated disc, surgery may be recommended.
