A “Thecal Sac indentation” normally is inconsequential unless it is severe or the canal is atypically narrowed. Many patients have pain generated from the small unmyelinated nerves (nociceptors) that do not show up on any testing including EMGs. There is no way to test for this pain presence so the doctors have no way of verifying the ...
Moderator. August 29, 2016 at 9:56 pm. Post count: 8660. #22868. The thecal sac contains the spinal cord and the CSF (cerebrospinal fluid). The CSF is the “packing” of the canal and is designed to cradle the cord to prevent compression. The fact that there is complete effacement of the ventral thecal sac may not be a big problem if there is ...
Findings: Mild straightening of the cervical spine is noted. There is evidence of disc osteophyte complex and diffuse disc bulge at C3-C4 level resulting in contour deformity and causing mild thecal sac indentation and moderate right neural foraminal stenosis. At C4-C5 level, there is combination of disc osteophyte complex, diffuse disc bulge ...
There is no significant pre/para vertebral or any epidural collection. Disk bulge at C5-C6 level,along with mild biliteral facet joint arthropathy,resulting in indentation of anterior thecal sac and mild narrowing of biliteral neural canals. No significant nerve root compression. Inter-vertebral disks show early degenerative changes.
C4-C5 There is a small posterior osteophyte with minimal ventral thecal sac indentation. The spinal canal is minimally narrowed. Bilateral uncovertebral hypertrophy without significant neural foraminal stenosis. C5-C6 There is small disk osteophyte complex and mild ligamentum flavum thickening with mild spinal canal narrowing.
* L5 S1 paracentral disc bulge with anterior thecal sac compression and right lateral recess narrowing. * L3 L4 disc bulge with anterior thecal sac indentation. * Disc degenarative changes at L5S1. So by seeing this doctor are suggested to go for another surgery. iam afraid of another surgery . Please sir I beg u to tell the solution for my ...
C5-6: Bulging disc is seen with 4mm right paracentral disc protrusion indenting the ventral thecal sac. The central canal and neural foramina remain patent. C6-7: Bulging disc and osteophyte are seen toward the left with mild foraminal narrowing on the left. Impression: 1.
Early changes of cervical spondyilosis with multiple level changes of degenerative discs, marginal osteophytosis and mild disc bulge is seen at C3/4, C4/5,C5/6,C6/7 discs. No obvious thecal sac indentation/neural foraminal encroachment seen at any level. Mild flateening of contour with slight posterocentral disc bulge is seen at c3/4, c4/5,c5/6 ...
COMPARISONS: Cervical spine radiographs dated 07/06/2016, MRI dated 11/24/2014. FINDINGS: There are 7 non rib-bearing cervical vertebral bodies. Normal vertebral body heights. There is intervertebral disc space narrowing at C5-C6 and C6-C7, with multilevel disc desiccation.
2. Posterior pseudo bulge of L5-S1 disc is seen indenting the thecal sac. 3. Rest of intervertebral discs appear normal. 4. Mild facetal arthropathy is noted at L5-S1 level. 5. Lower end of spinal cord, cauda equina and filum terminale appear normal. No abnormal pre/ paraspinal soft tissue mass seen.
