<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi,I am Meena Sheth. I was operated for cerivcal myelopathy in August, 2012. My latest MRI REPORT state that Diffuse bulges are seen from C3-4 to C6-7 levels, indenting the anterior subarachnoid space. The posterior longitudinal ligament is diffusely thickened.Pl do let me know in simple language what do you mean by above.  <response>: Hi, cervical myelopathy means - spinal cord in the region of neck is having issues. The diffuse bulge from c3-c4 to c6-c7 Levels means the disk between the two vertebrae is being pushed inside compartment its slipped from normal position which creates an indentation grove like structure in spinal cord and compressing from the front side at separate locations between c3-c4 and c6-c7. Posterior ligament is thickened - means the cover on the back portion of the vertebral column is thick. Thanks. Hope it helps. Chat Doctor.
