c5-c6 is the location of the disks in question. central means the 'middle' and protrusion means that there is some 'bulging'. effacement means 'showing' or 'opening' and anterior means the 'front'. posteriormeans the 'back'. this doesn't give you a diagnosis or complete answer to your question because the MD that ordered your mri should be the one answering your questions. hopefully, however, you have been given a little more knowlege of the 'lingo' to make your conversation with him/her a little less daunting and a little clearer. good luck and give your MD a call!

What is paracentral posterior disk protrusion at T12-L1 causing pressure over the anterior aspect of the thecal sac?
A paracentral posterior disk protrusion at the T12-L1 level refers to a bulging of the intervertebral disk that is located towards the center and posteriorly, which can encroach upon the spinal canal. This type of protrusion can exert pressure on the anterior aspect of the thecal sac, which houses the spinal cord and nerve roots, potentially leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower extremities. The condition may require monitoring or treatment depending on the severity of symptoms and the degree of nerve compression.
