What is right C5-C6 disc herniation with right ventral cord impingement and borderline paracentral stenosis?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Between the fith and sixth cervical vertibrae (neck bones) the cartilage disk between them is sticking out a bit to the left. This is most likely pinching the nerve root. This particular nerve root serves the biceps and wrist extensors possibly causing some weakness. There may be and pain/numbness that runs down the arm to the thumb. Reflexes in you mid-forearm may also affected.

∙ 15y agoEssentially, that means that you have a bulging disc (the paracentral disc herniation) at the level between vertebrae Sacral 1 and Lumbar 5. This bulge is putting pressure on the root nerve on the right side. The root nerve is what comes out from the spinal cord to the area of the body that the nerve goes to.

What is focal stenosis?
Focal spinal stenosis is a condition that happens with the aging of the human body. It is the progressive narrowing of the spinal canal which can lead to disc herniation and degenerative diseases.

Spinal cord flattened ventrally due to intermittent impingement?
Spinal Stenosis is a degenerative process on the spinal cord. Narrowing of the spinal canal begins to the flattened the spinal cord resulting in root nerve compression.
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.
Can small right paracentral disc proturson without stenosis at c5-6 cause such severe pain in neck and head and what to do about this?
Yes, you are describing cervicogenic headache. Pain Management Specialists are doctors specially trained in helping the pain of cervicogenic headaches. There are many options for patients with cervicogenic headache.
What does degenerative spinal stenosis due to right paracentral posterior osteophyte mean?
It sounds like you have nerves being pinched as a result of a narrowing of the space required for these to pass out from the spinal chord to other parts of the body. An osteophite is a bone growth that can take place between the vertebrae and is a result of degenerative arthritis.
What is Pyloric stenosis also called?
Pyloric stenosis is also referred to as hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
Is lumbar spinal stenosis less severe than cervical spinal stenosis?
The difference between lumbar spinal stenosis and cervical spinal stenosis is mainly the location of the problem. however, between the two lumbar spinal stenosis is the more severe form of stenosis.
What is the medical terminology combining form meaning narrowing?
