A member asked:
What does impressing on thecal sac mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Translation: The thecal sac is the strong tissue tube that encases the spinal cord. What you mean by "impressing" is not clear. Something can dent or press into and distort the usual appearance it has on studies.
