What does degenerative spinal stenosis due to right paracentral posterior osteophyte mean?
It sounds like you have nerves being pinched as a result of a narrowing of the space required for these to pass out from the spinal chord to other parts of the body. An osteophite is a bone growth that can take place between the vertebrae and is a result of degenerative arthritis.
Is there a difference between osteophyte and osteophyte complex?
Osteophyte is one abnormal growth. Osteophyte complex is numerous bony growths which can affect not only more than one vertebrae (but several), and can be extremely painful when rubbing on the nearby nerves, and also causes narrowing of the neural foramina(?). You don't want an osteophyte (s) placing pressure on the thecal sac (which is where the cerebral spinal fluid is located). susankatielorraine@yahoo.com
What is disc space narrowing with vacuum disc phenomena?
The presence of linear radiolucency in the disk space result in space narrowing with vacuum disc. It is associated with degenerative disk disease.
What does it mean if you have an eccentric right disc bulging at L5-S1 with minimal right-side neural foraminal narrowing?
Can you please explain what Lumber Scoliosis with sugnificant degenerative discase, in particular disc narrowing at L2/3 and L5/s1 with osteophytes formation. However, no suspicious lytic lesions were seen within the spinc. Kind regards, Candice Blackmore candiceb@hotmail.co.UK well, the degenerative disc disease means that your disc is slowly being squished down sooner or later there will be bone on bone rubbing and that's no bueno at all!!!! more than likely they will do a artificial disc replacement and the docotrs will go through your stomach right under your belly button. or they will fuse you at L5 S1 like they did me 3 weeks ago.
The MRI read at the C4-5 level there is a posterior disk osteophyte ridge complex asymmetric to the right producing narrowing of the central canal on the right what does this mean?
It means that there are growths of bone or spurs interfering with the position of nerves that pass between the vertebrae causing pain tingling or loss of strength in certain parts of the body.

What is severe disc space narrowing at C5-6?
Mild disk interspace narrowing is the physical description for "mild degenerative disks" or possibly degenerative disk disease.

What is narrowing with anterior spur formation C5-6 C6-7?
Cervical spondylosis is narrowing of the joint space and anterior spur formation C5-6 C6-7. This condition is usually treated with surgery performed by an orthopedic surgeon.
What is mild anterior disc margin osteophytes?
posterior disc osteophyte at c5 c6 mild indentation on anterior thecal sac. there is uncinate spurring with left formaminal narrowing c5 c6 . would this require surgery?
What is focal spinal stenosis?
Focal spinal stenosis is a condition that happens with the aging of the human body. It is the progressive narrowing of the spinal canal which can lead to disc herniation and degenerative diseases.
What are Osseous structures in scattered endplate degenerative thoracic spine?
Osseous structures refer to the bony components of the spine that may show signs of degeneration or wear over time. In scattered endplate degenerative changes in the thoracic spine, there may be areas of bony spur formation, disc space narrowing, and sclerosis at the endplates, indicating degenerative changes affecting the bones and discs in that region of the spine. These changes can contribute to symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and limited mobility in the thoracic spine.
What does multilevel mid to lower cervical degenerative space narrowing mean?
Multilevel mid to lower cervical degenerative space narrowing refers to the reduction of the intervertebral disc space in the cervical (neck) region, specifically at multiple levels between the mid and lower cervical vertebrae (C3 to C7). This condition is often caused by degenerative changes such as disc herniation, osteoarthritis, or age-related wear and tear. It can lead to symptoms like neck pain, stiffness, and potentially nerve compression, which may result in pain or numbness in the arms. Diagnosis is typically confirmed through imaging studies like MRI or X-rays.
Spinal cord flattened ventrally due to intermittent impingement?
Spinal Stenosis is a degenerative process on the spinal cord. Narrowing of the spinal canal begins to the flattened the spinal cord resulting in root nerve compression.
What is mild mediial tibiofemoral and patellofemoral compartment narrowing bilaterally mean?
At two joints within the knee -- the one between your upper and lower leg bone, and the one between the kneecap and thigh bone -- there is less space than there used to be. It's mild (not bad). These changes occur with age.
What is grade 1 degenerative anterolisthesis of L4 on L5. Degenerative disc space narrowing and facet arthrosis L4-L5 and L5-S1 and resultant canal stenosis and neural foraminal narrowing at L4-L5 and?
Grade 1 degenerative anterolisthesis of L4 on L5 refers to a condition where the vertebra at the L4 level has shifted forward in relation to the L5 vertebra due to degenerative changes. Degenerative disc space narrowing and facet arthrosis at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels indicate wear and tear of the intervertebral discs and facet joints in the lower lumbar spine. Resultant canal stenosis and neural foraminal narrowing at L4-L5 suggest compression of the spinal canal and nerve roots at the L4-L5 level, potentially leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs.
