What else can I help you with?
What is mild ventral cord impingement?
what is mild indentation of the cervical
What is impingement upon the thecal sac?
The thecal sac is the covering for the spinal cord. This can be seen on an MRI. Impingement means that something is pressing on it.
What is the difference in spinal cord infringement and impingement?
infringement on c5 and c6 what does this mean
Define impingement upon dural sac and to a lesser extent the cord?
The dural sac covers the spine. Typical causes of dural sac impingement typically include bulging discs, herniated discs, or osteophytes. These conditions can also affect the spinal cord.
What is neural impingement?
A neural impingement is a physiological flaw that will entail disintegration of the spinal column. This often causes so much pain and the treatment is mostly focused on alleviating the pain on your spinal cord.
Does a small central disc protrusion with minimal impingement cause pain?
yes
Spinal cord flattened ventrally due to intermittent impingement?
Spinal Stenosis is a degenerative process on the spinal cord. Narrowing of the spinal canal begins to the flattened the spinal cord resulting in root nerve compression.
Calcium deposits in the back of your neck?
Calcium deposits of the spinal cord is known as stenosis. Stenosis is an arthritis of the spine when there is enough buildup to cause impingement.
What is impingement of the right ventral hemicord?
The spinal cord is broken into a front (ventral) and back (dorsal). A hemicord impingement means that there is some kind of structure encroaching on half of the spinal cord. In this case, it seems like the right half of the cord is being damaged, more so near the front. A problem with the right half of the cord could leave someone with a lack of proprioception and motor control on the right, below the damaged area, and a lack of pain and temperature on the left, below the damaged area.

What is impingement on the anterior surface of spinal cord?
Impingement on the anterior surface of the spinal cord typically refers to pressure or compression exerted on the front part of the spinal cord, which can be caused by various factors, such as herniated discs, bony growths, or tumors. This compression can lead to neurological symptoms, including pain, weakness, or sensory changes in the areas of the body served by the affected spinal nerves. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent lasting damage and to alleviate symptoms.
What is small central disc herniation indenting the ventral margin of the the the thecal sac?
A broad herniation means that at least 25% of the disc is affected. A central herniation means that the herniation is toward the spinal column. A broad central herniation of the disc with impingement on the thecal sac is a herniation in which a large portion of the disc is protruding toward the spinal column and is pressing against the membrane which surrounds the spinal cord.
The central nervous system in vertebrates consists of the what and the spinal cord?
The central nervous system
