What does ventral csf space being effaced 14 15 2mm effacement mean?
Patient: I had a CT scan done, and several years ago i also had a MRI done, i know that my l-5 s-1 are pushing on my theacial sac and now it is showing a ventral csf space is effaced l4 l5 2mm effacement, i m not sure exactly what that means for me and my back. The disk hernieation went from 2mm to 6mm Doctor: Hello dear, Your Mri report means that you have lumbar disc prolapse which is pushing over thecal covering of csf space. But still no nerve root compression or canal stenosis are reassuring findings. you may visit your neurologist or neurosurgeon for proper examination and evaluation. hope you found the answer helpful Regards DrNeeraj Kumar Neurologist
