What does Large diffuse annular disc bulge contacting the traversing nerve root in the lateral recesses bilaterally?
One of the soft, cushiony discs that separates each bone in your backbone from its neighbor has begun to bulge and put pressure on two of the nerves branching out from the spinal cord.
Neural foramina are patent bilaterally What is meant by patent bilaterally?
Foramina are openings. Neural foramina patent bilaterally just means that the openings in the spine are open, and allow the nerves to pass through normally...
What is formed by the spinal nerves exiting the cord from the level of L4 to S4?
Spinal nerves exiting the spinal canal between L4 and S4 collectively make up the sacral plexus.
Why is the sponge considered the simplest animal?
because it is not bilaterally simmetrical.
Spinal nerves exiting the cord from the level of L4 to S4?
Spinal nerves exiting the cord from the level of L4 to S4 supply motor and sensory innervation to the lower extremities, including the buttocks, thighs, legs, and feet. They contribute to functions such as walking, standing, and bladder control. Damage to these nerves can lead to symptoms such as weakness, numbness, and pain in the lower body.
What is patent neural foramina?
Foramina are openings. Neural foramina patent bilaterally just means that the openings in the spine are open, and allow the nerves to pass through normally...
What is the function of spinal nerves- afferent?
They carry nerve impulses from your sensory organs, like your eyes, to your brain, or your central nervous system (CNS). When your eyes see something shiny on the ground, your afferent nerves tell your brain what your eyes see. In contrast, efferent nerves carry nerve impulses from your brain to parts of your body. So, when you see something shiny on the ground, your brain tells you to pick it up and look at it. Efferent = "Exiting", the nerves impulses are exiting your brain. Afferent = the opposite
What is abutment exiting l5 nerves?
Abutment of the exiting L5 nerves refers to the anatomical relationship and potential compression or irritation of the lumbar spinal nerves as they exit the spinal canal at the L5 vertebral level. This can occur due to various conditions, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative changes in the spine. Symptoms may include pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower extremities, reflecting the affected nerve's distribution. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to alleviate symptoms and prevent further nerve damage.
What is narrowing of the neural foramina bilaterally at the C5-6 level?
Narrowing of the neural foramina bilaterally at the C5-6 level refers to a reduction in the space through which spinal nerves exit the vertebral column at this cervical segment. This condition can result from factors such as disc herniation, osteophyte formation, or spinal degeneration, potentially leading to nerve compression. Symptoms may include pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms and hands, depending on the severity of the narrowing and the affected nerves. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to manage symptoms and prevent further complications.
What is spondylotic ridging with foraminal narrowing bilaterally at c6 -7?
Spondylotic ridging found on MRI is when there is calcification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, which runs behind the bodies of vertebrae caudal to cephlad. Neural foramina are the openings in the spinal column where the spinal nerves exit to the periphery.
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.
Multilevel disc space narrowing?
That most probably means that pain tingling or discomfort being experienced is the result of the jell that holds the vertebrae apart and cushions them against shock is wearing away causing pressure to be put on nerves exiting the spinal chord between them.
