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 else can I help you with?
What does minimal to mild posterior disk bulge without significant central canal or neuroforaminal stenosis?
That means you have a slightly bulged disk (low in your neck--you originally had c6-c7 in the question) but it isn't pressing on any nerves.
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 bilateral minimal facet osteoarthritis without significant neural foraminal narrowing or central canal stenosis?
It means there is only a small amount of wear and tear in the pads between the vertebrae and that there is no problem at this time with the Chanel's that allow the nerves to pass between them.
What do MRI results mean when they say C4-C5 asymmetric left posterolateral disc osteophyte complex results in moderate left of midline central stenosis and moderate asymmetric foraminal encroachment?
maxillary antrumand mucoperiosteal thickening of the ethmoid sinuses.
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 Moderate central disk herniation?
Disk herniation refers to an injury to the pad between the vertebral lumbar bones of the spine. Moderate central disk herniation refers to moderate injury that causes back pain but without particularly?æsignificant pain in the legs.
What is lumbar stenosis?
It is horrible. Your back never stops hurting and it causes your knees and ankles to hurt also. Answer Pain, numbness, weakness or tingling in the arms/hands and the legs may indicate cervical spinal stenosis. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis experience the same symptoms but limited to the lower back, legs, and feet.
What is moderate central thecal sac effacement and mild bilateral foraminal stenosis?
Moderate central thecal sac effacement refers to a narrowing of the space around the spinal cord in the center of the spinal canal, which may result in compression of the spinal cord. Mild bilateral foraminal stenosis refers to a narrowing of the openings through which spinal nerves exit the spinal canal on both sides, potentially causing compression of the nerve roots. Both conditions can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the affected areas of the body.
What is herniation through the cranium called?
Herniation through the cranium is called "brain herniation." This occurs when brain tissue shifts from its normal position due to increased intracranial pressure, often as a result of trauma, tumors, or swelling. The most common types of brain herniation include uncal herniation, tonsillar herniation, and central herniation. Each type can lead to severe neurological deficits and is considered a medical emergency.
What is mild L5-S1 central canal stenosis?
Central canal stenosis is a condition that can cause numbness, pain, stiffness, cramping, and muscle weakness. A thorough medical exam and diagnostic testing will be completed to determine this condition.
What is central cervical disc herniation?
it means that your disc is slightly bulged. which means it sticks out further than it should between your vertebrates
Severe cervical central stenosis with left arm tingling, pain on entire left flank, numbness in foot?
