Yes, thoracic protrusions at T2-3, T4-5, T6-7, and T7-8, along with lumbar bulges and stenosis at L3-4, L4-5, and L5-S1, could potentially cause severe urinary retention. The spinal cord and nerve roots in the lumbar region control bladder function, and any compression or stenosis in this area can disrupt normal nerve signaling, leading to urinary retention. Additionally, the thoracic protrusions may contribute to overall spinal cord compression, which can further impact bladder control. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.
What else can I help you with?
Is ligamentum flavum and facet hypertrophy the same as spinal stenosis?
They can be the contributors to the stenosis.
What does left uncinate hypertrophy and grade 1 disc protrusion mean?
left uncinate hypertrophy and grade i disc protrusion mean spinal canal stenosis
What is moderately severe right foght facet hypertrophy with moderate bilateral foraminal stenosis at C4-5?
The C3 and C4 are 3rd and 4th cervical vertebra. They touch each other toward the posterior surface at the facets. The term mild hypertrophy means that there is a little more than normal the amount of bone there. See link below:
What is Moderate degree of spinal stenosis?
Moderate spinal stenosis means that the narrowing of the spinal canal is narrowed to the degree that symptoms are always present. At the moderate stage symptoms include stiffness or numbness in the back or neck, persistent radiating pain, and some loss of flexibility.
What is Grade 1 degenerative anterolisthesis of L4 on L5 with mild to moderate left sided canal and foraminal stenosis due to bulging and facet hypertrophy?
Grade one anterolisthesis of C4 on c5 is mild movement of the c4 cervical disc. This is most commonly caused by a sudden trauma.
What are the four defects in tetralogy of fallot?
Pulmonary Atresia (or Pulmonary Stenosis) Right Ventricular Hypertrophy Ventricular Septal Defect Overriding Aorta
At t12-l1 what is moderate right neural foraminal stenosis?
chronic lacunar infarct
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.
What exactly is Ligamentous Hypertrophy?
Hypertrophy of the ligaments in the vertebral canal of the spinal column can narrow the canal (stenosis) to the point that the spinal cord and/or nerve roots running through the canal are compressed. When the posterior longitudinal ligament in front and ligamentum flavum behind the spinal cord hypertrophy the cord is almost "circumferentially" surrounded and compressed.Hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum laterally near the facet joint can also contribute to foraminal narrowing (stenosis) with potential nerve compression (pinching).Source(s):uscneurosurgerysearch.yahoo.com
What symptoms does Pulmonary stenosis produce?
In cases of mild or moderate stenosis, there are often no symptoms. With more severe obstruction, symptoms include a bluish skin tint and signs of heart failure
What is moderate circumferential disc osteophyte complete and bilateral uncovertebral joint hypertrophy?
Moderate circumferential disc osteophyte formation refers to the development of bony growths (osteophytes) around the circumference of an intervertebral disc, often due to degeneration or aging. Bilateral uncovertebral joint hypertrophy indicates an enlargement of the uncovertebral joints on both sides of the cervical spine, which can occur as a result of degenerative changes. Together, these conditions can contribute to spinal stenosis and nerve root compression, leading to pain and reduced mobility. Treatment may involve physical therapy, medication, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention.
Can this cause disability Moderate bilateral foraminal stenosis?
yes if spy nail card injurer or disability made
