Spinal cord is covered by 3 layers and between it's 2 layer there is fluid know as csf. The spinal cord along with it's 3 layers is known as thecal sac. The above thing is a MRI finding in which the disc is just indenting the thecal sac without any compression of the neural elements. This is a insignificant finding and patient should not have any symptoms.
The ventral side means the front side and the dorsal side means the back side.
What else can I help you with?
Posterior disc bulge which effaces the thecal sac?
what can be done for this
Diffuse bulge of L3-4 L4-5 intervertebral discs indenting the thecal sac and causing impression over the fat of nerve root canal on either side what does it means?
damage disc
Disc bulge at the level of l4-5 with impingement on thecal sac?
A disc bulge at the L4-L5 level means that the disc between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae is protruding out of place. This can cause compression on the thecal sac, which contains nerve roots and spinal fluid. Symptoms can include pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, or in severe cases, surgery.
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.
What is the mean of L4-5 disc shows large posterolateral disc protrusion indenting the thecal sac and compromising both the lateral recesses?
posterocentral
Disc bulge at c5-c6 causing indentation over thecal sac and mild left neural compromise is it dangerous situation please answer?
Disc Bulge at c5 c6 causing indentation over thecal sac and mild left nueral compromise is it dangerous situation
What does effacement of the left ventral thecal sac and possible minmal flattening of left central cervical spinal cord at c5-c6 Left framinal stenosis particularly proximal at this level mean?
Ventral means in front. Thecal sac means the sac that contain the spinal cord and cerebro spinal fluid. Effacement of the ventral thecal sac means pressure is upon the front of the sac (producing a flattening effect) most likely from a disc protrusion. Foramen means hole (where the nerve comes out of from the spinal cord). Stenosis means narrowing (usually from bony degeneration or disc herniation/protrusion/or bulge). Left foraminal stenosis means narrowing of the passageway where the nerve comes through.
What is a broad based disc ridge complex at C3 C4 and C4 C5 indenting the ventral TheCal sac?
A broad-based disc ridge complex at C3-C4 and C4-C5 refers to a structural change in the cervical spine where the intervertebral discs at these levels are bulging or protruding. This condition can lead to indentation of the ventral (anterior) aspect of the thecal sac, which houses the spinal cord and nerve roots, potentially causing compression or irritation of these neural structures. Such findings are often associated with neck pain and neurological symptoms, depending on the severity of the indentation. Evaluation by a healthcare professional is crucial for appropriate management.
What is disc hydration loss?
* Loss of lumber lordosis* Loss of normal disc hydration seen at multiple levels * Disc bulge seen at L2 -3 L3-4 L4-5 and L5-s1 levels indenting anterior thecal sac with impingement of the corresponding exit nerve roots at l3-4 l4-5 and l50s1 levels* No spinal canal stenosis seen* Normal vertebral bodises
What is loss of disc hydration?
* Loss of lumber lordosis* Loss of normal disc hydration seen at multiple levels * Disc bulge seen at L2 -3 L3-4 L4-5 and L5-s1 levels indenting anterior thecal sac with impingement of the corresponding exit nerve roots at l3-4 l4-5 and l50s1 levels* No spinal canal stenosis seen* Normal vertebral bodises
Can disc indenting your ventral cord cause damage?
Yes, disc indenting the ventral cord can cause damage. When a spinal disc herniates or bulges, it can apply pressure on the spinal cord or nearby nerves, leading to compression. This can result in symptoms such as pain, weakness, or numbness, and in severe cases, may cause long-term neurological deficits. Prompt medical evaluation is important to assess the extent of the injury and determine appropriate treatment.
What is prognosis of a mild effacement of ventral thecal sac without significant spinal canal stenosis.?
mild disfuse disc bulging with subtle 72 hyperintense signal
