What is central and right posterolateral disc protrusion spur complex?
It is descriptive term for the degenerative spine on CT or MRI. Central disk herniation means a central and posterior protrusion of disk material. Posterolateral disc protrusion indicates herniation of disk along the posterolateral margin of the disk to the spinal canal. Disc spur complex denotes a combined degenerative process with which the protruded disk is accompanied with adjacent bone change with spurring.
Where are the anterolateral and posterolateral abdominal walls?
The anterolateral walls are at the front and sides. The posterolateral walls are at the back and sides.
What does...there are some osteophytes narrowing the neuroforamina bilaterally at c4-5 mean?
Well, none of us has a neck that's getting any younger. Arthritis in the middle of the neck (C4 C5) has resulted in a bit of bone spurring (osteophytes). Those are taking up some of the space in the vetebral holes (foramina) through which the nerves pass. Now, whether or not this finding is causing the symptoms that led to your getting an MRI is another question. Whether they have symptoms or not, the majority of adults 40 and over have similar findings on MRI. The next step is to talk with your health care provider for advice specific to your situation. Nobody gets treatment based on MRI alone.
How does arthritis show up on MRI?
Arthritis can be detected on MRI through various features such as joint effusion, bone marrow edema, cartilage degeneration, and the presence of osteophytes. In inflammatory arthritis, like rheumatoid arthritis, MRI may also show synovial thickening and enhancement. Additionally, MRI can reveal subchondral bone changes and joint deformities, providing a detailed view of the extent of the disease. This imaging technique helps assess both structural damage and inflammation in the joints.
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 is small osteophytes?
osteophyte
What does posterolateral mean in medical terms?
back side
What are neurocentral osteophytes?
bone spurs
What is marginal osteophytosis?
Marginal osteophytosis refers to the formation of osteophytes, or bone spurs, at the margins of joints, often as a result of osteoarthritis or other degenerative joint conditions. These bony projections develop in response to joint stress and can lead to pain, reduced mobility, and joint stiffness. While they are typically a sign of joint degeneration, osteophytes can sometimes contribute to joint stability. Diagnosis usually involves imaging techniques like X-rays or MRI.
Is arthritis the same as marginal osteophytes?
marginal osteophytes are a result and a part of arthritis. they are the build up of bone around the area in joints where the bone has started to touch bone in joints.
