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 does flattening of right hemicord means?
Flattening of the right hemicord typically refers to a condition called a Chiari malformation, where the cerebellar tonsils in the back of the brain extend into the spinal canal. This can sometimes lead to the compression of the spinal cord and cause neurological symptoms like headache, neck pain, or weakness in the arms and legs. Treatment may involve surgery to alleviate the compression and symptoms.
Is the appendectomy ventral?
An appendectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the appendix, which is typically performed through a small incision in the lower right abdomen. This incision can be considered ventral, as it is made on the front side of the body.
What is the right hemicord at the level of C4 mean?
The right hemicord at the level of C4 refers to the right half of the spinal cord at the cervical vertebra C4. This area is significant because it contains neural pathways and structures that are crucial for motor and sensory functions of the upper body and arms. Damage or injury to this region can lead to deficits on the left side of the body due to the crossing of motor and sensory pathways. Understanding this term is important in the context of neurological assessments and spinal cord injuries.
What is the icd-9 code for shoulder impingement?
Impingement syndrome ICD 9: 726.2
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.
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.

How can you tell which side of the heart is the ventral surface on a sheeps heart?
The left side of the heart is the ventral surface on a sheep's heart. Look for the ventral grooves to identify it.
Does the mediastinum subdivide the ventral body cavity?
Yes, the mediastinum is a partition in the thoracic cavity that separates the lungs into right and left cavities. It does not divide the ventral body cavity. The ventral body cavity is divided by the diaphragm into the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.
