It means that the disc between L5-S1 has protruded out to one side (not centrally), and is affecting (most likely compressing) the S1 nerve root which is below the level of the herniation (the L5 nerve root has already exited the IVF). From this report I am assuming you are having some sensory or motor problems in your lower limbs?!

What is right C5-C6 disc herniation with right ventral cord impingement and borderline paracentral stenosis?

Between the fith and sixth cervical vertibrae (neck bones) the cartilage disk between them is sticking out a bit to the left. This is most likely pinching the nerve root. This particular nerve root serves the biceps and wrist extensors possibly causing some weakness. There may be and pain/numbness that runs down the arm to the thumb. Reflexes in you mid-forearm may also affected.


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 will be the effect of lower water level in boiler?

Effect of low water level in the boiler is rapid increase the temperature of the metal tubes, causing a collapse or rupture.


What does left paracentral herniation C5-C6 withindents the thecal sac and mild left neuroforaminla narrowing at this level mean?

This seems like a "slipped disc" in the spine around the neck region (cervical spine) which is causing pressure on the surroundings of the spinal cord and nerve routes. The Mild left neuroforaminal narrowing refers to a narrowing of the cavity in the spine where nerves leave the spinal cord. Hope that helps! If in doubt, consult the radiologist or physician who produced this report. Student Doctor

What is a paracentral protrusion of disc effaces the epidural fat minimally effaces the thecal sac on L5 S1?

This describes a minor bulging of a spinal disc at the L5-S1 level, which is causing a slight compression of the thecal sac (the membrane surrounding the spinal cord) and minimal displacement of the epidural fat. It may lead to symptoms like low back pain or sciatica. Tracking the condition with a healthcare provider is recommended.

What does it mean if I have slight bulging of the annulus at L5-S1 I have a lot of pain there.?

It means you have a slight herniation/slight bulging of the disc at the L5-S1 level of your spine.


What is paracentral posterior disk protrusion at T12-L1 causing pressure over the anterior aspect of the thecal sac?

A paracentral posterior disk protrusion at the T12-L1 level refers to a bulging of the intervertebral disk that is located towards the center and posteriorly, which can encroach upon the spinal canal. This type of protrusion can exert pressure on the anterior aspect of the thecal sac, which houses the spinal cord and nerve roots, potentially leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower extremities. The condition may require monitoring or treatment depending on the severity of symptoms and the degree of nerve compression.


What does this mean AT t7-8 there is disc desiccation and disc degeneration central and right paracentral disc herniation with midl superior subligamentous ext mildly indenting cent and rght hemicord?

T7-8 IS REFERRING TO THE DISC SPACE BETWEEN THE 7TH AND 8TH VERTEBRA OF THE THORACIC SPINE. THE THORACIC SPINE THAT SECTION BETWEEN THE CERVICAL SPINE (NECK) AND THE LUMBAR SPINE (LOWER BACK).THERE ARE 12 VERTEBRA THAT MAKE UP THE THORACIC SPINE.DISC DESICATION REFERS TO THE DEHYDRATION OR WATER LOSS CONTENT.DISCS ARE SOFT TISSUE STRUCTURES SERVING AS CUSHIONS BETWEEN THE BONY VERTEBRA.HERNIATION IS REFERS TO THE DISC BEING OUT OF PLACE. THIS REPOSITIONING OF THE DISC IS PROBABLY CAUSING INDENTING OR COMPRISING THE SPINAL CORD AT THAT PARTICULAR LEVEL OR LOCATION.


What is paracentral protrusion L1-2?

Paracentral protrusion at the L1-2 level refers to a bulging of the intervertebral disc located between the first and second lumbar vertebrae, specifically towards the paracentral region, which is near the center but slightly off to one side. This condition can potentially compress nearby spinal nerves, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back or legs. Diagnosis is typically confirmed through imaging studies like MRI or CT scans. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medication, or in severe cases, surgical intervention.
