What else can I help you with?
What does this mean C2-c3 patent central canal and neural foramen?
This typically indicates that there is no obvious compression or narrowing of the central canal or neural foramen at the C2-C3 level of the spine. "Patent" means that these spaces are open and unobstructed. It suggests there are no significant structural abnormalities in this area.
Through what part of a vertebra does the spinal cord pass?
The central canal of the spinal cord. The central canal, also known as ependymal canal, is the cerebrospinal fluid-filled space that runs longitudinally through the length of the entire spinal cord.
What is Central canal and neural foramina are grossly patent throughout?
This means that the openings in the canal and foramina are normal in size, thus there is no restrictions that would cause any nerve problems.
With marked narrowing of the neural foramina?
The Neural Foramen are grooves in the vertebra, just behind the vertebral body that the nerves that branch off the spinal cord exit the spinal canal from. If they are grossly patent they are open, and free from obstruction, so there is no compression of the nerves that course through these channels.
Part of the central nervous system extending from the brainstem through the vertebral canal?
The brain stem. The vertebral canal is called the foramen magnum.
The lumen of the neural tube develops into the?
Ventricles & central canal of spinal cord
Central canal is patent?
The central canal of the spinal cord or bone is open and unobstructed, allowing for the passage of cerebrospinal fluid or blood vessels. This ensures proper communication and transport of essential substances in the central nervous system.
What is icd 9 code for neural foraminal stenosis?
The ICD-9 code for neural foranimal stenosis is 724.9. Foranimal stenosis is nerve compression of the nerve that leaves the spinal canal through the foramen. It can occur in the neck or lower back.
Site of jugular foramen and carotid canal?
The jugular foramen is located at the base of the skull, between the occipital and temporal bones, posterior to the carotid canal. The carotid canal is situated in the petrous part of the temporal bone, just above the jugular foramen.
What is a round or oval hole through a bone which contains blood vessels and nerves called?
vertebral foramen
Is the jugular foramen larger then the carotid canal?
No, the carotid canal is larger than the jugular foramen in the human skull. The carotid canal transmits the internal carotid artery, while the jugular foramen transmits the internal jugular vein and cranial nerves.
Is nervous tissue housed in the neural canal of the thoracic vertebra?
No, nervous tissue is not housed in the neural canal of the thoracic vertebra. The neural canal, or vertebral canal, contains the spinal cord, which is part of the central nervous system, as well as spinal nerves and their surrounding protective membranes. Nervous tissue itself is found in the spinal cord and peripheral nerves but is not located within the vertebral canal itself. Instead, the canal serves as a protective passage for these structures.
