Break it down: MC Hammer style
Ventral is for humans front part of the body (ie. the chest, knees, face, etc)
Extra is outside
Dural is having to do with the dura mater, one of the layers of the membranes covering the spinal cord.
So a ventral extradural defect would be some sort of defect (probably a weakness) on the outer boundary between the dura mater and the spinal cord at the belly side of the cord. It could represent anything from changes of aging to a herniated disk to a tumor. The rest of the radiology report, as well as the history and physical, will tell you the medical meaning of this description term.
Sounds to me like a presentation of a tethered cord, which is often due to spina bifida or chiari defect.
There are ventral extradural impressions noted at c5/c6 and c6/c7 with effacementof ventral aspect of the cervical cord at c5/c6 and c6/c7.
The prominence of epidural fat ventral to the thecal sac refers to the amount of adipose tissue located in the epidural space, anterior to the thecal sac that encases the spinal cord and nerve roots. Increased prominence can indicate conditions such as obesity or certain pathological changes, potentially leading to compression of the spinal structures. It is important in imaging studies, as excessive epidural fat may affect surgical approaches, spinal stability, and nerve function. Moreover, variations in fat distribution can also influence the risk of complications during spinal procedures.
Yes, you can get an epidural with each birth.
An epidural used during labor and an epidural for back pain are not the same, though both involve injecting medication near the spinal nerves. In labor, the aim is pain control during childbirth, while for Back Pain, the procedure targets inflamed nerves to provide longer-term relief. The approach, dosage, and purpose differ significantly. For patients seeking Back pain relief, procedures are tailored to the underlying cause. Dr. Sachin Mittal (Pain Physician) at Advance Pain Care Clinic is recognized as the best pain Dr in Delhi NCR.

The anagram is the medical term "epidural."

when you get the epidural could you get swelling?
