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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 the difference between a horn and a column in the spinal cord?
A horn is the gray matter of the spinal cord, and a column consist of white matter.
What is the spinal condition where spinal cord grows and tightens the spinal cord?
Tethered Spinal Cord is a condition where the spinal cord is attached to the spinal column and that causes the cord to become stretched.
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 the difference between ascending tracts and descending tracts of the spinal cord?
ascending carry sensory information toward the brain.descending convey motor command to the spinal cord.
Which is the correct spelling-spinal chord or spinal cord?
spinal cord
