What can minor prominence of central canal lower thoriac be? apart from myelopathy? thankyou
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not certain: As a practicing spine surgeon, I have never heard of " minor prominence of central canal." Whatever this may be, it appears to be a description of a CT or MRI of your thoracic spine. Myelopathy is a clinical finding. It is not something you can see on films. Myelopathy is often caused by narrowing of central canal mostly in cervical spine and occasionally in thoracic spine which can be seen CT/MRI
