Abnormal lordosis at Cervical 5-Cervical 6 level with diffuse posterior disc bar effacing Cerebro Spinal Fluid in anterior thecal sac?
Lordosis is the natural curve of the spine in the Neck. Abnormal means this lordosis is changed or lost. The disc between the vertabrae have degenerated (broken down) pushing a bulge or bar out to the side towards the Spinal Cord. The fluid is the "Epidural" lining surrounding the spinal cord. This may give rise to neck pain inflammation and if further imdentation into the spinal fluid or the cord could give rise to some neurological symptoms. Arm and leg pains/ tingling/numbness weakness etc. This is called Spondylosis.
What are the treatments for encroachment of anterior theca?
Treatment will depend upon the degree of encroachment. In my experience mild anterior thecal compression (diagnosed by MR scanning) can be associated with acute onset of severe low back pain which may be midline or paravertebral and is frequently associated with a reduced straight leg raise on examination. This sign is generally recognised by clinicians as being associated with more frequent nerve root compression and consequent sciatica which is typically absent in these cases. I find patients with this syndrome respond well to simple rest, modified activities and whatever pain medication they can tolerate together with a thorough explanation of the pain mechanism. Most recover well in a few weeks. However, the problem may well be a precursor of a further disc prolapse and so advice to avoid activities which compress the spine excessively would seem sensible. Perhaps the use of a 'backswing' traction device might be useful for some sufferers.Bill Kusiar, Chiropractor.
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 narrowing of the the thecal?
The narrowing of a thecal sac depends on where it is located. It might be a bulging disc or a pinched nerve.
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 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.
What is the anterior thecal sac?
The anterior thecal sac is a membrane that surrounds the spine. It acts as protection to the spinal cord and the cauda equina.
What is impingement upon the thecal sac?
The thecal sac is the covering for the spinal cord. This can be seen on an MRI. Impingement means that something is pressing on it.
What is the lumbar thecal sac?
The lumbar thecal sac is a membrane that surrounds the spinal cord. It is filled with cerebral spinal fluid. It is in the lower back.

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 impression on the ventral thecal sac mean?
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.
