What does it mean when you have levoconvex curvature of the thoracic and lumbar spine with multilevel degenerative disc disease and 19 degree curvature?
Levoconvex curvature of the thoracic and lumbar spine indicates a curvature that bends to the left side, which can be associated with conditions such as scoliosis. Multilevel degenerative disc disease refers to the deterioration of multiple intervertebral discs, potentially causing pain, reduced mobility, and other symptoms. A 19-degree curvature suggests a moderate spinal deformity, which may require monitoring or treatment depending on its severity and the presence of symptoms. Overall, this combination indicates a need for medical evaluation to determine appropriate management options.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of treatment may be prescribed for an xray that shows levoconvex curvature of the low-thoracic and upper lumbar spine measuring about 10.3 degrees?
Normally, none -- watchful waiting if a child has not completed her growth.
What is Thoracic spondylosis?
A degenerative joint disease affecting the thoracic spine, causing local pain and stiffness. Associated with degenerative changes in the thoracic spine. ICD code 721.2, 721.41, 722.72,or 722.92
What sections of vertebral column curve posteriorly?
thoracic curvature and lumbar curvature
What is mild levoconvex scoliosis in the thoracic spine measuring 10 degrees?
It is mild. It might look somthing like this - /
What is An excessive concave curvature of the thoracic spine?
Either Scoliosis or Kyphosis. Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine, primarily in the thoracic region. Kyphosis is the forward bending of the thoracic region, the "round back" deformity.
Increase in the outward curvature of the thoracic spine?
kyphosis
What is mild thoracic scoliosis?
Well, scoliosis is a curvature of the spine. The cervicothoracic part deals with the location of the curve. The cervical region is the neck, and the thoracic is the upper back. So the cervicothoracic scoliosis would be a curvature of the spine in the neck/upper back
What is mild degenerative changes in the thoracic spine?
curveture in the thoratic spine
What is mild thoracic dextroscolisis?
Mild thoracic dextroscoliosis refers to a slight curvature of the spine to the right in the thoracic (middle) region. It is considered mild when the angle of curvature is less than 20 degrees. Treatment options may include physical therapy, regular monitoring, and sometimes bracing.
Which of these parts of vertebral canal will show concavity backward in secondry curvature- either cervical or thoracic?
cervical curvature
What is a curvature?
Primary curvature is the concave curve of the fetal vertebral column. This is apparent in the adult thoracic and sacral regions.
How does a thoriac curvature occur?
Thoracic curvature, also known as kyphosis, can occur due to factors such as poor posture, degenerative changes in the spine, osteoporosis, or genetic conditions. It is characterized by excessive rounding of the upper back, leading to a hunched posture. Treatment options include physical therapy, bracing, and in severe cases, surgery.
