What is spondylitic protrusion?
Spondylosis is pain and degeneration of the spine. A spondylitic protrusion is the disc tissue that has displaced beyond the disc space.
Discogenic Disease with Anterior and Posterior Osteophytic Ridging Noted art C7T1?
Osteophytic ridging means a bone spur.
What is a diffuse spondylitic bar?
A diffuse spondylitic bar is a bony bridge that forms across the adjacent spinous processes in the spine due to degenerative changes, such as ankylosing spondylitis. It restricts motion and can cause spinal stiffness and pain.
What cause spondylitic?
The most common cause of cervical spondylosis is aging. These abnormalities are incredibly common in patients over 40, regardless of whether they have any neck pain or symptoms.
What is ridging?
Something that will not bend is said to be ridged.
What is protrusions?
Spondylosis is pain and degeneration of the spine. A spondylitic protrusion is the disc tissue that has displaced beyond the disc space.
What causes spondylitic changes?
Spondylitic changes are caused by conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that primarily affects the spine. In ankylosing spondylitis, the immune system attacks the joints and causes inflammation that can lead to bone formation and fusion of the vertebrae. This can result in stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility in the affected areas of the spine.
What is spondylotic ridging at L5 S1?
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 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.
Is ridge a verb?
Yes, the word ridge is both a noun (ridge, ridges) and a verb (ridge, ridges, ridging, ridged).
L4 - L5 considerable disc space narrowing and desiccation with broad-based posterior and posterolateral extension of inteervertebral disc with midline annular tear?
broadbased narrowing at the l5/s1
When i got my mri report it quotes minor spondylitic change in the cervical spine and lower lumber dehydration but i still have balance walking and breathing problems?
spondylitic (although more likely to be spondylotic) changes and lumbar disc dehydration are both extremely common findings on MRI scans when looking at the spinal column of older people. The discs become dehydrated as we get older and that is why we shrink. spondylotic means wear and tear or degeneration.Neither of these cause breathing problems or imbalance when walking and they were unlikely to have been caused as a result of a problem in the spinal column.
