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 else can I help you with?
What is C6-C7 herniation?
A herniated disc
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 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.
What is mild ventral extradural defect at the L3-L4?
There are ventral extradural impressions noted at c5/c6 and c6/c7 with effacementof ventral aspect of the cervical cord at c5/c6 and c6/c7.
What is the payout after fusion on c4 c5 c6?
what is a payout for having surgery and fusing c4,c5,c6,c7 and having permanant damage to right index finger.
Where is c5-c6 and c6 and c6-c7 of the spine?
The C6 and C7 vertebrae are the lowest two vertebrae of the cervical (neck) portion of your spine. The C7 can typically be identified by feeling the spinous process (a bony protrudance) of C7 at the base of your neck where it intersects with your back and shoulders. The C6 vertebrae would be directly above it.
What does it mean c5 c6 c7 disc prolapse c6 c7 nevre compression and compression of thecal sac but cannot see exit of thecal sac?
C5, C6, and C7 disc prolapse refers to the herniation of intervertebral discs in the cervical spine, specifically between the C5-C6 and C6-C7 vertebrae. This condition can lead to nerve compression, where nearby nerves are pinched, causing pain, weakness, or numbness in the arms. The compression of the thecal sac indicates that the protective covering of the spinal cord and nerves is being pressed upon, which may lead to further neurological issues. The inability to see the exit of the thecal sac suggests that imaging may not clearly show where the nerves exit the spinal canal, possibly complicating diagnosis or treatment.
What does in mean if C6-C7 broad central disc bulge contacts the anterior spinal cord and could contribute to C7 reticula?
A C6-C7 broad central disc bulge that contacts the anterior spinal cord indicates that the intervertebral disc at this level is protruding into the spinal canal, potentially compressing the spinal cord itself. This contact may lead to symptoms such as pain, weakness, or sensory changes in the upper extremities due to the involvement of the C7 nerve root or reticular formation. It suggests a need for further evaluation and possible treatment to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
When You need to add cells c3 and c7 and multiply c3 by c6?
To add the values in cells C3 and C7, use the formula =C3 + C7. To multiply the value in cell C3 by the value in cell C6, use the formula =C3 * C6. You can enter these formulas in any empty cell to obtain the results.
What does it mean when my mri report says signal loss and volume loss in c4-c5 and c6-c7 with reparative endplate enhancement at c7 superior endplate and in the foramen on the left at c6-c7?
Signal loss and volume loss in the c4-c5 and c6-c7 discs on an MRI report typically indicate degenerative changes or disc degeneration. Reparative endplate enhancement at c7 suggests a healing response to injury or inflammation. The presence of these findings may contribute to symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, or decreased range of motion.
What is degenerative disc disease at c6-c7 with posterior bar a disc protrusion mean?
Degenerative disc disease at C6-C7 refers to the deterioration of the intervertebral disc located between the sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae in the neck, which can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. A posterior bar or disc protrusion indicates that part of the disc has bulged out towards the back, potentially pressing on nearby nerves or the spinal cord. This condition can lead to symptoms such as neck pain, radiating pain in the arms, or neurological issues, depending on the severity and nerve involvement. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medication, or, in some cases, surgical intervention.
What is broad shallow disc herniation at c6-c7 larger near the midline with encroachment upon the thecal sac and spinal cord?
wide herniation that is larger at center mid-line pushing the disc out and beginning to but not yet touch or push on the thecal sac.
