What else can I help you with?
What icd code should be used for s1 L5 herniated disc with s1 radiculopathy?
722.4
What is perineural fat around the existing L5 root?
You probably mean exiting L5 spinal nerve--the nerve root ends at the DRG inside the lateral foramen. It is fatty tissue within the neuroforamen. Outside the foramen there is typically muscle.
I an having L5 S1 foraminotomy surgery what does this mean?
If you are having an L5 S1 foraminotomy surgery it means the surgeons will enlarge the passageway of the first spinal nerve in your 5th lumbar vertebra.
What is Nerve root clumping at L4 L5 and L5 S1?
Nerve root clumping is usually indicative of arachnoiditis, a painful, progressive spinal condition. Please research arachnoiditis.
Where is pain felt when a L5 nerve is pinched?
Pinching of the L5 nerve causes weakness in the big toe and ankle and pain on the top of the foot that may extend up to the buttocks.
What does paracentral disc herniation at the L5-S1 level causing mass effect upon the left S1 nerve root mean?
It means that the disc between L5-S1 has protruded out to one side (not centrally), and is affecting (most likely compressing) the S1 nerve root which is below the level of the herniation (the L5 nerve root has already exited the IVF). From this report I am assuming you are having some sensory or motor problems in your lower limbs?!
The sciatic nerve is composed of what two nerves?
the common peroneal nerve and the tibial nerve:Common Peroneal Nerve, comprised of nerve fibers from L5, S1, S2, and S3.Tibial Nerve comprised of nerve fibers from L4, L5, S1, S2 and S3)
What is displacement of the bilateral L5 nerve roots in the neuroforamen and displacement of the left S1 nerve root as it exits the canal?
The nerves coming off the spinal cord at L5 and S1 are being pushed out of their normal position.
What type of spinal nerve damage may lead you to experience sensations from your outer left leg?
Damage to the L4 spinal nerve may lead to sensations in the outer aspect of the left leg. This nerve innervates the lateral thigh area and is responsible for transmitting sensory information from that region to the brain.
What does loss of disc signal at L4-L5 and L5-S1 mean?
No
What is evidence of impression on the L5 and S1 nerve root on the right ay the L5 S1 level?
Evidence of impression on the L5 and S1 nerve root on the right at the L5-S1 level typically includes imaging findings such as a herniated disc, foraminal stenosis, or a mass effect from adjacent structures. On MRI, this may present as displacement or compression of the nerve roots, along with associated edema or inflammation in the surrounding tissues. Clinical symptoms may also be evident, including radicular pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower extremity corresponding to the affected nerve roots.
What is ; bilateral significant foraminal Narrowing with compression of the exiting L5 nerve roots?
The corona
