What is a thecal sac?
The correct word is thecal sac which is located witin the spinal vertebra. It is made up of a mixture of pia-mater-wrapped lumbar, sacral and coccygeal nerve roots and it protects these roots. The nerve roots of the thecal sac float freely in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) which provides both protection and nutrition for the roots.
What is meant by moderate ap thecal sac stenosis of 6.4 mm?
It means moderate spinal stenosis. Spinal stenosis (or narrowing) is a common condition that occurs when the small spinal canal, which contains the spinal cord, becomes compressed. This causes a 'pinching' of the spinal cord and/or nerve roots, which leads to pain, cramping, weakness or numbness.
