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!

A herniated disc


Will you need surgery at C6-C7 there is a central to left central to foraminal herniation that causes central left central canal and left neuroforaminal stenosis?

Need of surgery or indication for surgery at C6-C7 depends on clinical features rather than on MRI findings. If you have no pain or no neurological deficits there is no need of surgery. If there is a correlation between clinical features and MRI findings then there is an indication for surgery to remove your suffering.


What does a right paracentral c5-c6 disk herniation mean?

A right paracentral C5-C6 disk herniation refers to a condition where the intervertebral disk between the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae in the neck has bulged or ruptured, pushing into the spinal canal or nerve pathways on the right side. This can potentially compress nearby nerve roots, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the neck, shoulders, arms, or hands. The term "paracentral" indicates that the herniation is located towards the center of the canal but slightly off to the right. Treatment may vary depending on the severity of symptoms and can include physical therapy, medication, or surgery.

What is Straightening of the normal cervical curvature?

i have been miserable with pain in neck and shoulders and more,went to the er and the results show there is straightening to the normal curvature.on c2-c3 there is moderate disc bulging. without disc herniation. c3 and c4 there is broad disc herniation present extending to the right midlin.There is evidence of central canal and right sided forminal narrowing.on c4 - c5 broad disc/ridge complex is present.there is mild centralcanal narrowing and mild left foraminal narrowing. c5 and c6 there is mild disc bulging without disc herniation.Cuts at lung aspices are unremarkable.multilevel disc disease.


What does a foraminal herniation of c6 c7 mean?

A foraminal herniation at the C6-C7 level refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc between the sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae protrudes into the neural foramen, the opening through which spinal nerves exit the spinal column. This herniation can compress nearby nerves, potentially leading to symptoms such as neck pain, shoulder pain, or radiating pain and numbness in the arms and hands. The condition can arise from age-related degeneration, trauma, or repetitive stress. Treatment options vary and may include physical therapy, medications, or, in some cases, surgery.


What is a small right central extrusion migrates below disc space at C6-7?

A small right central extrusion below the disc space at C6-7 refers to a herniated intervertebral disc material that has protruded from the disc's center towards the right side and is located below the C6-C7 vertebral disc. This condition can potentially compress nearby spinal nerves or the spinal cord, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or neck. Treatment options may include conservative measures like physical therapy or pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary.


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.


If you copied b4 to c6 what would be the resulting cell refernce in c6?

If you copy the content of cell B4 to cell C6, the resulting cell reference in C6 will be adjusted based on the relative position of the cells. Since C6 is two columns to the right of B4 and in the same row, C6 will reference the value in B4 directly as it is a relative reference. Therefore, C6 will display whatever value or formula was originally in B4.
