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 does effacement of the left ventral thecal sac and possible minmal flattening of left central cervical spinal cord at c5-c6 Left framinal stenosis particularly proximal at this level mean?
Ventral means in front. Thecal sac means the sac that contain the spinal cord and cerebro spinal fluid. Effacement of the ventral thecal sac means pressure is upon the front of the sac (producing a flattening effect) most likely from a disc protrusion. Foramen means hole (where the nerve comes out of from the spinal cord). Stenosis means narrowing (usually from bony degeneration or disc herniation/protrusion/or bulge). Left foraminal stenosis means narrowing of the passageway where the nerve comes through.
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?

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 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.
