Want this question answered?
what does severe left & right arthropathy mean in lay terms?
Mild right-sided foraminal narrowing secondary to uncinate spurring means that the space available for nerves to travel through is narrowed. The reason for this in this case is the uncinate spurring, which are bone spurs shaped like hooks, are intruding into that space.
neurol foraminal right narrowing c4-5 mild moderate can it be serious?
The tibia i would expect :-) Maybe the "tibular facet". (Why not look up your anatomy text book ? After all , that's what it's there for right ?)
No. It is good to have minimal fluid in your right scrotal sac. More fluid there gives you hydrocele.
Tuberculosis in the upper right lung.
Facet joints are where certain bones fit together such as in the vertebral column. An effusion is escape of fluid into a part or tissue, and bilateral of course means on both sides. Bilateral facet joint effusion indicates fluid being released on both sides of the vertebrae.
The joints in the back are called facet joints. Each vertebra has two sets of facet joints. One pair faces upward (superior articular facet) and one downward (inferior articular facet). There is one joint on each side (right and left). Facet joints are hinge-like and link vertebrae together. They are located at the back of the spine (posterior).
I know what coasta means... facet is a side or aspect of something... they are found right off the coast of Australia in sydney.
This description suggests a condition where the bony projection (uncinate process) in the spine has grown in size, contributing to pressure or compression on the surrounding structures like the spinal cord. The bulging disc material may be pushing towards the left side, potentially causing some compression or indentation on the spinal cord in that region.
This sounds like a diagnosis someone discovered on a medical report. Mild is a rather obvious term, meaning only slight and perhaps the early phase of a problem. Bilateral means on both sides or opposite sides of a part of the body, usually meaning on the right and left side of the body. Facet refers to the joint or articulation where two parts of the spine connect at the back part of the spinal column. A facet joint is a small structure that acts like a hinge or point of contact between two connecting spinal bones (vertebrae) to offer support while still allowing movement in the spine. Osteoarthropathy is a term meaning early osteoarthritis, in which it is suspected that early joint cartilage softening and breakdown has occurred, with possible slight or mild bone changes that are typical of arthritis. Overall, the term means a doctor believes that someone has early osteoarthritis in the facet joints in an unidentified part of the spine, probably causing mild to moderate and occasional spinal pain and reduced movement when aggravated by excess movement or standing.
There is wear and tear damage at the facet joints (the places where the "wings" of the vertebrae meet each other), but not at the end plates (the flat parts of the vertebrae that touch the disks).l
