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 else can I help you with?
What is central cord impingement?
A central cord impingement is an incomplete injury to the cervical spinal cord. A central cord impingement results in extensive motor weakness in the upper extremities.
Is the stomach anterior to the spinal cord?
The spinal cord is posterior to the chest.
What is Anterior margin of the spinal cord?
Anterior, meaning "front" would describe the front side of the spinal cord.
The brain is what to the spinal cord?
anterior
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.
What is the difference in spinal cord infringement and impingement?
infringement on c5 and c6 what does this mean
Is the brain connected to the spinal cord?
anterior
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 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.
The trachea is ANTERIOR to the spinal cord?
No, the trachea and the spinal cord run parallel from about the base of the skull to the lungs. The spinal cord is superior to (above) the trachea, that means the spinal cord lies dorsally to the trachea. You could also say that the trachea is inferior to the spinal cord.When you are doing body directions on a human, you have to lay the human on his belly. Anterior is towards the head; Posterior, towards the tail end. If you are a surgeon, then left and right are your left and right while facing the patient.
Where in the central nervous system are motor neurons found?
Motor neurons are localized in the ventral horn of the spinal cord (anterior surface)
What does impingement of the ventral lateral surface of the cord at c4-5 with severe spinal stenosis mean?
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal. The spinal canal is the space in your spinal column designed to house and protect the spinal cord. The 7 bones of your neck are known as cervical vertebrae. The narrowing of your spinal canal is most severe at the level of the 4th and 5th cervical vertebrae (C4-5.) Impingement is a term that describes a body structure, usually bone, pushing into either a nerve structure or part of the cord. The cord is divided into ventral, or front, and dorsal, or back. Also the lateral, or side structure are being affected. To sum up, at the level of the 4th and 5th vertabrae of the neck, you have an impingement of the front and side portion of your spinal cord.It means narrowing.
