A foraminal herniation at the C6-C7 level refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc between the sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae protrudes into the neural foramen, the opening through which spinal nerves exit the spinal column. This herniation can compress nearby nerves, potentially leading to symptoms such as neck pain, shoulder pain, or radiating pain and numbness in the arms and hands. The condition can arise from age-related degeneration, trauma, or repetitive stress. Treatment options vary and may include physical therapy, medications, or, in some cases, surgery.

What is C6-C7 herniation?
A herniated disc
Will you need surgery at C6-C7 there is a central to left central to foraminal herniation that causes central left central canal and left neuroforaminal stenosis?
Need of surgery or indication for surgery at C6-C7 depends on clinical features rather than on MRI findings. If you have no pain or no neurological deficits there is no need of surgery. If there is a correlation between clinical features and MRI findings then there is an indication for surgery to remove your suffering.
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 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.
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.
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 is right para central herniation C6?
It is a protrusion (herniation) of disc material near the center of the spine (paracentral), in this case just to the right of center. The C6 designation indicates the herniation is located in the Cervical spine (neck) at the level of the 6th cervical vertebral space (there are a total of seven cervical vertebra -- C1 through C7). A couple of useful reference/education sites are www.spineuniverse.com and www.spine-health.com. Hope this helps!Bunny
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.
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 a buldging c6 and c7 mean?
It means there is a bulging between the 6th and 7th vertebrae in the neck (cervical part of the spine).
What causes damage to the C6 and C7 disc?
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 is C3-c7 neural foraminal narrowing?
Narrowing of the neural formina at the C7- 1 was a narrowing of the spinal canal where the nerve roots exit. This can occur with or without disc protrusion.
