What else can I help you with?
Formen ovale Ductus arteriosus Ductus venosus what will these shunts become in a newborn?
In a newborn, the foramen ovale will close and become the fossa ovalis. The ductus arteriosus will close and become the ligamentum arteriosum. The ductus venosus will close and become the ligamentum venosum.
What is redundancy in the spine?
Redundancy in the spine refers to having multiple components or mechanisms that serve similar functions. This redundancy helps to enhance stability and protect the spinal cord from injury by providing backup support in case of damage or stress to one component. It allows the spine to continue functioning even when one part is compromised.
Which band of connective tissue lies superficial to the cervical spinous processes?
The ligamentum nuchae lies superficial to the cervical spinous processes. It is a thick, elastic ligament that runs from the external occipital protuberance to the C7 vertebra.
Why fibers are found on the tip of femur?
Fibers found on the tip of the femur are part of the ligament known as the ligamentum teres. The ligamentum teres helps stabilize the hip joint by attaching from the tip of the femur to the hip socket.
What structure becomes the round ligament in the liver after birth?
Umbilical Cord becomes the Ligamentum Teres or Round Ligament shortly after birth
What is facet arthropathy with ligamentum flavum thickening?
The individual vertebrae are linked with the help of connecting tissues known as ligamentum flavum, When there is noticeable swelling due to inflammatory or degenerative changes, it is known as Ligamentum flavum thickening. A spinal MRI scan will be able to detect the swelling.
Thickened ligamentum flavum is this a disability?
Thickened ligamentum flavum appears to be part of the process of aging. It's not a disability in and of itself. It can cause disability if it leads to symptoms.
What is ligamentum flavum redundancy?
Ligamentum flavum redundancy refers to a condition where the ligamentum flavum in the spine becomes thickened or elongated beyond its normal limits. This can lead to compression of the spinal cord or nerves, resulting in symptoms like back pain, leg pain, or numbness. Treatment may involve physiotherapy, medication, or in severe cases, surgery to relieve the compression.
Ligamentum flavum buckling?
Ligamentum flavum buckling is a result of a weakened ligamentum flavum, or the ligaments in your vertebrae that allow for bending over and snapping back up. Due to its location in the spine, weakness here can cause localized pain at the site of weakness, shooting pain along any affected nerves and muscle weakness due to decreased neurological efficiency.
Is ligamentum flavum and facet hypertrophy the same as spinal stenosis?
They can be the contributors to the stenosis.
What does it mean when it says ligamentum flavum thickening and mild facet hypertrophy?
Ligamentum flavum is placed in the vertebral canal anterior to the spines of vertebrae and laminae of the vertebrae. Thickening of this ligament is common cause of spinal stenosis. Facet on the transverse process in enlarged in a given patient.
How ligamentum flavum hypertrophy treated?
Surgical removal of that part of the ligament which is impinging upon the spinal cord.
What is ligamentum flavum redundancy and facet joint osteoarthritis?
Ligamentum flavum redundancy refers to the thickening or excess folding of the ligamentum flavum, a band of elastic tissue that connects the vertebrae in the spine. This redundancy can lead to spinal canal stenosis and contribute to nerve compression. Facet joint osteoarthritis is the degeneration of the facet joints, which are the joints between the vertebrae that allow for movement and stability; this condition can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility due to cartilage wear and inflammation. Both conditions are often associated with aging and can occur simultaneously, exacerbating spinal issues.
What is the name of the ligament located on the posterior side of the vertebral?
The ligament located on the posterior side of the vertebral column is called the ligamentum flavum.
What is ligamentum flavum hypertrophy but no significant stenosis?
ligamentum flavum hypertrophy is a degenerative condition of the spine which most commonly occurs in the elderly where the tendons holding one vertebra to another thicken, decreasing the amount of room available for the spinal cord and the nerves that come off it. It may be associated with inflammation (arthritis) or osteoporosis. It is frequently treated surgically, and it can recur. This one seems a bit complex to answer easily, So if you follow the related link (Hypertrophy of Ligamentum Flavum in Lumbar Spinal Stenosis) you will find more information.
You have bulging disc at L2 L3 L4 L5 with desiccation annular bulging and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and slight narrowing of the spinal canal Are you a canadiate for surgery?
no
Can you use methyprednisolone for back pain?
Yes. This drug can be used to reduce the swelling of inflammatory origin in the spinal cord. It may reduce the swelling of ligamentum flavum.
