Disc Bulge at c5 c6 causing indentation over thecal sac and mild left nueral compromise is it dangerous situation
What is a paracentral protrusion of disc effaces the epidural fat minimally effaces the thecal sac on L5 S1?
This describes a minor bulging of a spinal disc at the L5-S1 level, which is causing a slight compression of the thecal sac (the membrane surrounding the spinal cord) and minimal displacement of the epidural fat. It may lead to symptoms like low back pain or sciatica. Tracking the condition with a healthcare provider is recommended.
What is a broad-based disc bulge at c4-5 effaces anterior thecal sac?
What is a broad based disk buldge at L5-S1 mean?
Disc bulge at the level of l4-5 with impingement on thecal sac?
A disc bulge at the L4-L5 level means that the disc between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae is protruding out of place. This can cause compression on the thecal sac, which contains nerve roots and spinal fluid. Symptoms can include pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, or in severe cases, surgery.
What does mild posterior disc bulge at T11-12 without neural structure compromise mean?
It means the disc bulge is not big enough to press on the spinal canal. It could also mean the nerves exiting theforamina are not beingencroachedupon. Posterior means behind.
What is disc bulge with disc indenting the ventral thecal sac?
Spinal cord is covered by 3 layers and between it's 2 layer there is fluid know as csf. The spinal cord along with it's 3 layers is known as thecal sac. The above thing is a MRI finding in which the disc is just indenting the thecal sac without any compression of the neural elements. This is a insignificant finding and patient should not have any symptoms. The ventral side means the front side and the dorsal side means the back side.
What does CT results mean if they say mild posterior disc bulge L4-L5 and L5-S1 and thecal sac impingement?
The discs in your spine are starting to herniate outwards (they are like jelly sacs surrounded by hard tough flesh) which is causing pressure on some of the nerves in your spinal cord.
What does it mean when it says mild diffuse disc bulge effacing the thecal sac with minimal narrowing of the neuro foramina in an MRI?
In order to best help translate, lets break this sentence down into smaller parts to explain it:A "diffuse disc bulge" refers to one of the discs in your spine. The discs separate the bones of your spine, called vertebrae, and provide cushion support as well as motion to the vertebrae. A diffuse bulge of one of these discs refers to the disc bulging out from all sides (right, left, front, and back), except not the top or bottom."effacing the thecal sac" means that that diffuse disc bulge is contacting the thecal sac such that being able to see that sac is obscured by the diffuse disc bulge. Thecal sac refers to the the "sac" which is a membrane (called dura mater) that contains the spinal cord and cerebrospinal fluid. All this statement implies is that the disc bulge is contacting the membrane that contains the spinal cord."minimal narrowing of the neuro foramina" - probably you meant neural foramina. At each level in the spine where there is a disc, right and left nerve roots come out to innervate tissues in the body. The holes that they come out are called neural foramina. This statement means that the size, or diameter, of those holes has been minimally narrowed by this diffuse disc bulge.

What is a posterior sub ligamentous disc bulge?
A posterior subligamentous disc bulge refers to a condition where an intervertebral disc protrudes posteriorly and beneath the surrounding ligamentous structures, specifically the posterior longitudinal ligament. This type of bulge can lead to compression of nearby spinal nerves or the spinal cord, potentially causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the affected areas. It is often detected through imaging studies such as MRI. Treatment may vary depending on the severity of symptoms and can include physical therapy, medication, or in some cases, surgery.
What is meant by diffuse bulge of c5-6 and c6-7 iv disc along with posterior marginal osteophytes causing ventral thecal sac indentation?
These results on an MRI report mean a few different things. First is that there is generalized bulging of the lower discs of the neck. Second is that there bone spurs which have grown which are putting pressure on the thecal sac which can cause symptoms severe enough to require surgery in some cases.
What is marginal osteophytes at L4 and L5 with reduced disc space?
MR imagemorphology is in favour of early marginal osteophytes at few levels. mildbroad disc bulge at l4-l5 causing minimal thecal sac indentation
