Dear Friend,
Many thanks for posting the question via my forum.
Well the present MRI findings doesn't really proves the etiology to the accident.
The bottom line is that there are too many levels of disc involvement in your cervical spine. With this scenario, surgery is not preferred unless there is no other option available. This was for the disc related problem.
Now there is another problem, that is about the hemangioma.
Hemangioma's are blood collections generally benign (harmless) in nature and are harmless. But if they grow in size, they can be a problem as they cause weakness of the bone as the affected region gets infiltrated by blood collection at the loss of bone marrow.
And this may require a major surgery.
Hence i have advised you for the orthopaedician's opinion.
Regards...
So please consult your treating doctor with appointment, so that a decision can be made , about the surgery.
Feel free to discuss more, in this context.
Regards
Dear Wilson,
In the backbone we have a spinal cord, from which a number of nerve rootlets pass. The opening via which they leave the spine is called as Exit foramina.
Due to arthritis/degeneration, changes occur in them.These changes are seen via X-Ray and MRI scan and are called as Spondylotic changes.
When the changes are severe, affecting the foramina, it's called as spondylotic narrowing.
Regards
Can some tell me what spondylotichange with some spondylotic narrowing of the exit formaminae
