It would mean that through injury or disease, some part of your spinal anatomy had become shortened, or narrowed.
What does spinal cord mean?
MRI results have effacement ventral cerebrospinal fluid space
You have protrusion of the disc between thoracic six and seventh vertebrae. This protrusion has created indentation on the sac of dura matter on the anterolateral region of the spinal cord. This can compress your spinal cord.
Suical effacement and the resultant CSF increase causing pressure in the brain and spinal column causes atrophy of the brain. Death can also result from this condition.
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.
Spinal Cord InjuryIn medical terms, SCI stands for spinal cord injury.1) Science2) Spinal Cord Injuryspinal cord injury
A living thing that does not have a spinal cord.
You mean your spinal cord? That would be the Nervous System.
Syringomyelia is a disorder in which a cyst forms within the spinal cord. This cyst aka syrinx expands over time, destroying a portion of the spinal cord from its center and expanding outward.
ADJ. Poisonous to nerve tissue, as to the brain or spinal cord.
infringement on c5 and c6 what does this mean
Ventral means front, therefore "ventral to the spinal cord" would mean "in front of the spinal cord"
