What is significant intervertebral disc space signal loss at C6-C7 with minor diffuse disc bulge?
Significant intervertebral disc space signal loss at C6-C7 is a nerve impingement which may be painful or cause loss of feeling. A minor diffuse disc bulge is a minor bulge of the affected disc.
What is C6-C7 herniation?
A herniated disc
What causes damage to the C6 and C7 disc?
Damage to the C6 and C7 discs is often caused by age-related degeneration, leading to conditions like herniation or bulging. Repetitive strain from activities that involve heavy lifting or poor posture can also contribute to disc deterioration. Additionally, trauma from accidents or falls may result in disc injuries. These factors can lead to pain, nerve compression, and reduced mobility in the neck and upper limbs.
What discs are found between the spinal cord?
Can a "severe left foraminal disc osteophyte complex and contact of the exiting C6 nerve" cause problems with vomiting?
Is it uncommon for an anesthesiologist to herniate your disc between c5 and c6 during surgery?
While it is rare for an anesthesiologist to cause a herniated disc between the C5 and C6 vertebrae during surgery, it can occur under certain circumstances, such as improper positioning or excessive force during procedures like intubation or spinal anesthesia. Anesthesiologists take precautions to minimize risks, but individual patient factors and surgical contexts can contribute to potential complications. If there are concerns about spinal injuries, it’s important to discuss them with the surgical team beforehand.
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 does a right paramedian disc protrusion at C5 C6 causing focal complete effacement of right paramedian subarachnoid space and right side cord deformity mean and how serious is it?
A right paramedian disc protrusion at C5 - C6 that causes focal complete effacement is often referred to as a herniated disc. It can compress nerves and cause tingling and numbness. Your physician will be able to evaluate how serious the condition is and whether it requires treatment.
What does c6-5 mean?
C6-5 typically refers to a specific level in the cervical spine, indicating the sixth cervical vertebra (C6) and the fifth cervical vertebra (C5). This designation is often used in medical contexts to describe conditions, injuries, or surgical procedures affecting that particular segment of the neck. It can also relate to the intervertebral disc or nerve roots between these vertebrae. Understanding this reference is important for diagnosing and treating spinal issues.
Would a herniated c5-c6 disc damage the vagus nerve?
A herniated C5-C6 disc primarily affects the cervical spine and may compress surrounding spinal nerves, but it is unlikely to directly damage the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve originates in the brainstem and travels through the neck, but it is not located in the cervical spine where the C5-C6 disc is situated. However, severe cervical spine issues can potentially lead to broader neurological complications, but direct damage to the vagus nerve from a C5-C6 herniation is not typical.
What do MRI results mean when they say level C6-C7 demonstrates a small central disc protrusion associated with?
That means there is a bulging disc that is impinging on the central canal (spinal cord) between the vertebral bodies at the C6-C7 levels, which may or may not be symptomatic.
Disc bulge at c5-c6 causing indentation over thecal sac and mild left neural compromise is it dangerous situation please answer?
Disc Bulge at c5 c6 causing indentation over thecal sac and mild left nueral compromise is it dangerous situation
What is complete effacement of the anterior subarachnoid space at c5-c6 with possible minimal cord deformation?
Complete effacement of the anterior subarachnoid space at c5-c6 is a thinning out of the disc material. Minimal cord deformation is possible scoliosis in the area of c5-c6.
