What does this mean Disc bulges of L34 and L5S1 do not result in neural compression?

It means that even though there is compression of the material between the discs there is no interference or pressure being put on the nerves that pass between them to the body.

What is central disc herniation at L4-5 associated with concentric disc bulging and mild narrowing of the right and left neural foramen?
A herniated disc in the low back which makes the foramina (the bony holes on either side through which the spinal nerves pass) narrow. This can result in one or both of the spinal nerves being pinched, causing pain or numbness to radiate down one or both legs. On the other hand, it's possible that neither nerve is pinched at all.
What is disc space narrowing with vacuum disc phenomena?
The presence of linear radiolucency in the disk space result in space narrowing with vacuum disc. It is associated with degenerative disk disease.
What does mild compression deformity of the superior endplate of T3 mean?
This term means that the T3 vertebra of the thoracic spine has a visual deformity seen on x-ray. The endplate is the part of the bone that touches the disc, so a compression deformity means that the bone has been compressed at this connection.
What does it mean if you have an eccentric right disc bulging at L5-S1 with minimal right-side neural foraminal narrowing?
Can you please explain what Lumber Scoliosis with sugnificant degenerative discase, in particular disc narrowing at L2/3 and L5/s1 with osteophytes formation. However, no suspicious lytic lesions were seen within the spinc. Kind regards, Candice Blackmore candiceb@hotmail.co.UK well, the degenerative disc disease means that your disc is slowly being squished down sooner or later there will be bone on bone rubbing and that's no bueno at all!!!! more than likely they will do a artificial disc replacement and the docotrs will go through your stomach right under your belly button. or they will fuse you at L5 S1 like they did me 3 weeks ago.
Is a bulging Disc a herniated disc?
No. A bulging disc is a disc that has mildly or severely (depending on what the diagnostics prove) buldged from the intervertebral space. This means that the nucleus inside the disc is intact and still within the disc space, but the disc itself has bulged outward. A herniated disc is the same thing as a ruptured disc in which case the nucleus has exited the intervertebral space and the two vetrebrae are essentially "bone on bone". A bulging disc occurs more often as we age or as repetitive activities weaken the the disc. Herniated discs are more often specifically related to trauma/injury sustained and are more acute (sudden) in onset.
What is moderate neural foraminal narrowing?
Neural foraminal compromise is the narrowing of the spinal column. It is the result of disc degeneration over a period of time. Bulging and narrowing of the spinal column, or foramen, causes nerve compression or bulging in the affected area.
What does moderate generalized disc bulges with bilateral neural foraminal narrowing mean to my function?
This could affect your range of motion.You may also have some numbness or tingling
Small posterior disc bulges with mild endplate spurring?
what is Small posterior disc bulges with mild endplate spurring
What does neural foramen are narrow mean?
Bulging disc vs herniated disc
What is a diffused disc bulge?
The name of the condition is self explanatory. The disc between the two vertebrae bulges out from all the sides.
What is right neural foramen?
what is disc protrusion in the right neural foramen abutting right L5 nerve root
What does it mean to have Left paracentral annular tear with asymmetric disc protrusion causing anterior thecal sac compression and mild narrowing of both neural foraminae Can it be cured completely?
What do they do for this. It is some kind of operation done?
What does Small broad based disc bulges at L12 L45 mean?
Disc bulges are characterized as focal or broad based. Focal means that less than 90 degrees of the disc is protruding outside of the radius of the vertebrae. Broad based means that 90 to 180 degrees of the disc are protruding outside of the vertebrae. The protruding discs are located in the lumbar region.
How can herniated disc affects movement?
Possibly , it relies upon which nerves are affected by the bulge of the disc(s) upon the nerve(s) {Known as Neural Impingement.} .
Does L4 L5 and L3-L4 mild disc bulges slightly efface ventral subarachnoid space mean there are herniated discs?
No. Disc herniations are different from disc bulges. The disc herniations are generally more focal and the nucleus of the disc (jelly like substance in the center of the disc) has pushed through the outer layers of the annular fibers. Disc herniations also may contain is contain other particles such as bone fragments, cartilage fragments. In case of a disc bulge disc material are contained within the boundaries of annular fibers which is the tough outer layer of the disc.
What is mild to moderate left foraminal stenosis?
Moderate left foraminal stenosis is compression of the cervical spinal nerves that travel through a narrowing of the foramina. Causes of the narrowing include herniated disc material and bone spurs in the neck.
What is C3-c7 neural foraminal narrowing?
Narrowing of the neural formina at the C7- 1 was a narrowing of the spinal canal where the nerve roots exit. This can occur with or without disc protrusion.
