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.
What is displacement of epidural fat?
The spinal cord is surrounded by an extension of three layers of covering ("Dura") from the skull. The space outside of this "covering" of three layers is named the epidural area, "epi" meaning 'over' or 'above'... Epidural fat means fat outside the dura, and is reported on MRI's & CT's to indicate that something is pushing on the dura either from inside (like a herniated disc) or from the outside (like pressure from something outside the dural layer)... scar tissue is one thing that could displace epidural fat...
What is a ventral hernia containing omentum?
This is an omental hernia. There is a weak space in the ventral wall (abdomen) and the lining of the cavity (perineum) has protruded out but also some of the fat. The fat is like an apron covering the intestines. This is called the omentum.

Where is the epidural space located?

What does the mesentery hold in place?
The mesentery is derived from what is known in the embryo as the dorsal mesentery. The dorsal mesentery is larger than the ventral mesentery, which gradually becomes other parts of the peritoneum. Most parts of the ventral mesentery are associated with the liver. ---------------------------------------------------------Recommend if u like this.....

What is paraspinous tissue?
Sarcomas are cancerous tumors that invade the body's soft tissues such as muscle, nerves and fat. Paraspinal sarcoma originates in the area on either side of the spine (paraspinal region). It can also involve the space within the vertebra known as the spinal canal (vertebrae and epidural region).
