What could cause a person to need spinal disc surgery?
Spinal disc surgery is usually required because of herniation. This occurs when a person strains his or her spine but feels pains in the knee, and other joints or the leg.
What is small central disc herniation indenting the ventral margin of the the the thecal sac?
A broad herniation means that at least 25% of the disc is affected. A central herniation means that the herniation is toward the spinal column. A broad central herniation of the disc with impingement on the thecal sac is a herniation in which a large portion of the disc is protruding toward the spinal column and is pressing against the membrane which surrounds the spinal cord.
What is a T1-T2 disc herniation?
A T1-T2 disc herniation is a herniation that happens in the middle or lower back. This will cause extreme pain and possible numbness in the limbs.
Will you need surgery for right neuroforaminal disc protrusion herniation impinging on the right L4 nerve root?
absolutely. and it's going to be painful.
What is C6-C7 herniation?
A herniated disc
Does disc herniation affect the hips?
Yes.
What does a small left paracentral disc herniation mean and how serious is it?
A disc herniation can be serious because it can cause severe pain and loss of feeling in your arms and legs. This kind of herniation basically means the rubbery cushion between the bones has moved out of its proper place.
What does it mean when the MRI comes back with mild disc bulge and compression of C4-c5 disc thecal sak with super impose disc herniation?
I do know that this can cause a great deal of pain in the shoulder and arm, compression means that it is on the spinal cord. I think I would consider surgery.
Is genetics a factor in disc degeneration?
Growing scientific evidence also points to genetic factors in disc herniation, especially in families with a history of predisposition to early-onset sciatica and disk herniation.
What does herniation of a vertebral disc involve?
When a disc herniates, the jellylike substance pushes through and causes the harder outer ring (annulus fibrosus) to compress a nerve root in the spinal cord. Herniation of a vertebral disc can cause varying degrees of pain
What is a broad-based central disc herniation?
A broad-based central disc herniation refers to a type of spinal disc herniation where the disc protrudes centrally and covers a wider area than a focal herniation. This condition occurs when the nucleus pulposus, the gel-like center of the disc, bulges out through the annulus fibrosus, which is the tough outer layer, potentially pressing on nearby spinal nerves or the spinal cord. Symptoms may include back pain, radicular pain, or neurological deficits, depending on the severity and location of the herniation. Treatment options typically range from conservative management, such as physical therapy and medications, to surgical intervention if necessary.
What is intraforaminal disc herniation at L3-4?
Intraforaminal disc herniation at L3-4 refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae bulges or ruptures into the foramen, the space through which spinal nerves exit the spinal column. This herniation can compress nearby spinal nerves, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back, hips, or legs. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies like MRI, and treatment options may include physical therapy, medication, or, in severe cases, surgery.
