What is compression of the ventral dural sac?
What is dural sac indentation?
to touch the spine
Define impingement upon dural sac and to a lesser extent the cord?
The dural sac covers the spine. Typical causes of dural sac impingement typically include bulging discs, herniated discs, or osteophytes. These conditions can also affect the spinal cord.
The dural sac end on what vertebral level?
S3
What is thecal sac flattening?
Thecal sac flattening occurs when a herniated disc has into the spinal canal that it is pushing on the thecal sac. The thecal sac is the membrane of dura mater that surrounds the spinal cord and the cauda equina.
The dural sinuses are located in the?
dural folds
What is disc osteophyte complex with flattening of the ventral thecal sac?
You have a bone spur on the vertebrae that is protruding towards the front of your body and putting pressure on the sac of cerebrospinal fluid that encircles the brain and spinal cord.
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 does it mean when there is a flattening of the pons in the human brain?
