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 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.
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 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.
Which is worse a c6 or c7 spinal cord injury?
The spinal cord does not need to be severed in order to be classified as a spinal cord injury. The C stands for cervical which means it is in the neck. The 6 and 7 are the vertebrae down from the skull. The largest vertebrae on your neck is number 7, so that injury is between that one and the one directly above it. I received a spinal cord injury at 6 and 7 in 1999 in a Ford Explorer rollover accident. My 6 and 7 slid out of place about 70%. Because of the damage done to the nerve cells they died. That is what caused the spinal cord injury.
Can you show a picture of the cervical and thoracic spine?
No. Wiki can't show pics on the site.Do you no where on the spine where c6 an c7 is located an then l4-l5-s1 or do u no where i can find a picture of the spine telling me exactly where these disc are
Where in human body is c5 levelc6c7?
The C5, C6, and C7 refer to cervical vertebrae in the human spine, which are located in the neck region. Specifically, C5 is the 5th cervical vertebra, C6 is the 6th, and C7 is the 7th. These vertebrae provide support and mobility for the neck and are crucial for various nerve functions in the upper body.
