A member asked:
C5-c6 left dusc isteophyte caysing a mass effect on ventral subarachnoid space abutting the chird. what is a mass effect? what are the implications?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mass effect: A mass effect occurs when there is abnormal tissue that is pressing on the surrounding normal anatomy. An osteophyte is an abnormal growth on a bone (benign, not cancer), usually from arthritis or trauma. Are you having symptoms, neck pain, weakness in an arm, numbness, tingling, popping/jerking when neck moved. Would definitely see a neurosurgeon if there are symptoms.
