An 11 mm sclerotic focus in the left iliac bone typically indicates an area of increased bone density, which can be due to various causes such as a benign bone lesion, a response to stress or injury, or potentially a malignancy. Further evaluation, including imaging studies or a biopsy, may be necessary to determine the underlying cause. It's important to discuss the findings with a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
The ilium is a large bone in your pelvis, the 'crest' of your hip. The Iliac fossa is the smooth internal surface of the ilium. It's the place that might hurt if you get constipation!
A dense sclerotic in the left side of the T5 vertebra refers to an area where the bone has become hardened and more compact than usual. This can be a result of conditions such as bone metastasis or osteoblastic metastases that cause increased bone density in that specific area. Further evaluation, such as imaging studies or a biopsy, may be needed to determine the underlying cause.
Sclerotic changes to the left pubic bone indicate an increase in bone density or hardening, often seen on imaging studies like X-rays. This can result from various conditions, including arthritis, trauma, infection, or chronic stress. It may suggest an underlying pathology that requires further evaluation to determine the cause and appropriate management. Consulting a healthcare professional for a definitive diagnosis is essential.
No, you have a pelvic bone where a right femur and left femur attach. 'at what junction?' you ask? the Sacro Iliac; say that 5 times fast...
Well, honey, in the left iliac region, you've got the sigmoid colon, left ureter, left ovary and fallopian tube (if you're a lady), and maybe a bit of the left kidney hanging out nearby. Just a little neighborhood of organs chilling on the left side of your lower abdomen.
On the left side, you have left iliac region. On the right side, you have right iliac region.
ilium. Specifically the iliac crest. (you have a left and a right ilium and iliac crest.)
"Iliac" refers to the pelvis and hip. The "left iliac" probably refers to the left branch of the iliac artery, right after the end of the aorta where it branches into the pelvis. "Stenosis" means "narrowing", so the phrase refers to an abnormal narrowing of this artery in the pelvic area.
Colon sigmoideum

Left and right iliac
At the inferior end of the abdominal aorta, it splits into the left and right common iliac arteries, which further branch into internal and external iliac arteries supplying blood to the pelvis and lower limbs.
