Hi

Can I anyone tell me what the ventral cord is and what happens it when it is flattened?

TIA
 
The ventral cord is the part of the cord facing the front of you.. as far as what can happen, it depenRAB on where it is flattened and for how long.
Can you explain a bit more about what is going on or what the report says?
 
Hi. Thanks for getting back to me. I've been having problems with the sides and back of neck. My shoulders and sometimes my left arm feels heavy and I get some electrical shock feelings in my fingers. MRI before this one showed a buldged disc at C5-C6. Here is the latest Cervial MRI.

Result:
Inferior views of the posterior fossma midline are within normal limts. The craniocervical junction is normal. There is a minimal reversal of the cervical lordosis centered at C5-6. The vertebral bodies maintain near anatomic height and alignment. There is mild loss of disk height greatest at C5-6. There is no suspicious marrow edema or signal abnormality. Details by axial level:
C2-3 is normal
C3-4 shows mild left foraminal narrowing, otherwise normal.
C4-5 shows minimal-mild disk osteophyte, with no central or foraminal narrowing.
C5-6 shows mild disk osteophyte eccentric to the left, with mild left facet hypertrophy, contributing to a mild-moderate left foraminal narrowing. There is very mild flattening of the ventral cord, without cord signal abnormality. There is no right foraminal narrowing.
C5-7 is unremarkable.

the visualized prevertebral paraspinal soft tissues appear within normal limits.

IMPRESSION:
MILD CERVIAL SPONDYLITIC CHANGE GREATEST C5-6, MINIMALLY FLATTTENS VENTRAL CORD, WITH NO CORD SIGNAL ABNORMALITY. NO SIGNIFICAN FORAMINAL NARROWING

Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.
