What are the effects of dural sac compression?

This is an imaging term, what is the dural sac, simply put, the entire spinal cord and cauda equina nerve are surrounded by a dense dura, forming a closed sac, called the dural sac, which is filled with cerebrospinal fluid and the nerve floats in it.

Dural sac compression refers to the lesion of the intervertebral disc, such as herniation, prolapse, bulge, resulting in dural sac compression, if the dural sac is slightly compressed, the nerves inside are not compressed, at this time there will be no symptoms, only when the compression to a certain extent, resulting in the nerve inside is also compressed, at this time there will be corresponding symptoms.

Therefore, when you see the imaging report showing that the dural sac is compressed, do not be afraid, at this time, the doctor needs to determine whether further treatment is needed based on the symptoms and the degree of compression.

Dural sac compression refers to the compression of the dural sac due to disc injury, such as disc herniation, herniation, or bulging.

The clinical manifestations are pain, numbness, weakness, decreased muscle strength and even incontinence in the corresponding upper or lower limbs.

Dural sac compression is more severe. Because the dural sac is a very important tissue in the human body, it is found in the spinal canal. Dural sac compression is mainly due to disc herniation and ligamentum flavum hyperplasia, accompanied by bone hyperplasia.

If the nerve is compressed or even the spinal cord is compressed, nerve damage can occur, such as pain in the lower back or pain in the legs. As long as the patient finds that the dural sac is compressed, it is best to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment to avoid more serious diseases.

Dural sac compression refers to the compression of the dural sac due to various reasons, causing some neurological symptoms, most of which are caused by lumbar disc herniation, and may also be caused by traumatic fractures, etc., due to the compression of the dural sac, it can cause low back pain or radiate to the lower limbs pain, numbness and other uncomfortable symptoms.

Extended Materials. 1. Dural sac: The dura mater composed of tough connective tissue forms a sealed sac cavity that encloses the spinal cord, which is called the dural sac, which contains the spinal cord space and the space between the membranes. In other words, the dural sac is a tissue that protects the spinal cord.

2. Dural sac compression: refers to the injury of the intervertebral disc, such as the herniation, herniation and bulging of the intervertebral disc, resulting in the compression of the dural sac.

This is a rare occurrence and accounts for about 2% of disc surgeries performed in orthopedics. Because the intervertebral disc has been prolapsed into the spinal canal, there is no possibility of non-surgical ** return. There is only one way to treat this condition, which is surgical removal.

Third, the incidence of lumbar spine is high, and cervical and thoracic spine are rare. Herniated discs are very common and account for more than 90% of disc surgeries performed in orthopedics. With non-surgical ** quick effect, good curative effect, less pain, *** small, completely possible**, and not easy**.

The specific ** method is as follows:

Neuraxial injection: Intraneural injection with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and nutritional injections can directly eliminate inflammation and edema at the injured site and promote the repair of damaged tissues.

Traditional Chinese medicine**: Taking Chinese herbal medicines and proprietary Chinese medicines such as blood circulation and blood stasis, bone and tendon renewal, menstrual pain relief can promote damage repair and consolidate the ** effect. Osteopathy:

Correcting facet joint misalignment and loosening lumbar muscles is conducive to intervertebral disc reduction and injury repair. Massage of the soft tissues of the damaged part can dredge the meridians, reduce swelling and relieve pain.

Acupuncture and electrotherapy: play an auxiliary role.

4. Theoretically speaking, the bulge is more prominent and mild, which is mainly caused by the tension of the psoas muscles and the excessive force of the intervertebral disc squeezing. Use orthopedic and massage methods to relieve the tension of the psoas muscles**. In general, it can recover slowly after 2 to 4 weeks.

5. In this case, it is necessary to go to the orthopedic department of the hospital in time to do a CT or magnetic resonance examination of the lumbar spine to clarify the specific severity. For mild symptoms, it can be considered to be improved by conservative**, and generally the symptoms of protruding compression can be relieved by physical therapy and traction of the lower back. For severe symptoms, surgery to relieve the compression of the dural sac needs to be considered, and some minimally invasive surgical methods** such as radiofrequency ablation** or lateral intervertebral foraminoscopy** are more commonly used.

Dural sac compression is an imaging depiction, and most patients with dural sac compression have a disc compressing the spinal cord, also known as cerebrospinal fluid obstruction.

The dural sac is located where the nerves at the caudal end of the spine converge and is a tissue that protects the spinal cord and is composed of tough connective tissue containing spinal nerves and cerebrospinal fluid. Around the dural sac are a number of intervertebral discs, facet joints, ligamentum flavum. As we age, the disc can herniate, causing the dural sac to become compressed, known as dural sac compression.

Dural sac compression is mostly caused by lumbar disc herniation, but it may also be caused by trauma, fracture, etc., which can cause patients with low back pain, or radiate to the lower limbs to cause pain, numbness and other uncomfortable symptoms. It is necessary to go to the orthopedic department of the hospital in time to do CT or magnetic resonance examination of the lumbar spine to determine the specific degree of compression.

In patients with dural sac compression, if the compression is relatively mild, it can be considered to improve by conservative**, such as physiotherapy and traction of the lower back, to alleviate the compression symptoms. For more severe symptoms, surgery to relieve compression needs to be considered, and minimally invasive surgical methods** are currently more commonly used, such as radiofrequency ablation**, or lateral intervertebral foraminoscopy**.
