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 is the difference between an annular rent and an annular tear?
An annular rent refers to a partial tear in the outer layer of the intervertebral disc, while an annular tear involves a complete tear through the outer layer. Both conditions can result in back pain and may require medical intervention for relief.
Is an annular tear considered degenerative disc disease?
An annular tear of the disc is, generally speaking, traumatic. However, over time, this can lead to degenerative disease of the affected disc or discs.
What is left foraminal annular tear?
A left foraminal annular tear is when the annulus fibrosus rips or tears. The annulus fibrosus is the tough exterior of the intervertebral disc.
What is a posterior annular tear in L5 S1 disc mean?
A posterior annular tear is a tear in the ligament fibers that cover the inner core of a disc. The discs separate each vertebra in your spine. A posterior annular tear in the L5-S1 discs indicates the location in which these tears occur. L5 is the fifth and lowest of the lumbar vertebra and the S1 is the first and highest sacral vertebra.
What is a broad based disc protrusion 2.5 mm in the AP dimension with an annula tear?
2.5mm broad based disc protusion
What causes an Posterior annular tear of L5-S1?
A posterior annular tear is a tear in the ligament fibers that cover the inner core of a disc. The discs separate each vertebra in your spine. A posterior annular tear in the L5-S1 discs indicates the location in which these tears occur. L5 is the fifth and lowest of the lumbar vertebra and the S1 is the first and highest sacral vertebra.
What is a median annular tear with hyperintensity behind the annulus and a 6 mm protrusion that effaces the epidural fat but not the neural foraminal elements?
This description suggests there is a disc herniation at the level corresponding to the annular tear, pressing on the spinal cord or nerves. The disc material is protruding out of the disc space, causing compression of nearby structures. Symptoms may include back pain, leg pain, or neurologic deficits, and treatment options may include conservative management or surgical intervention.
What is central annular tear of L4-5 disc?
The discs in-between the bones of the spine are composed of a tough and fibrous outer layer called the annulus fibrosis and a gelatinous inner layer called the nucleus pulposus. Sometimes that outer layer can tear, just like you can get a tear in any ligament or tendon in your body. When that tear occurs at the back fo the disc, but right in the center, it is called a central annular tear. If the tear is bad enough the inner material (nucleus pulposus), this is a herniated disc. L4-5 is the second to lowest disc in the spine, if this disc herniates out it can affect the L5 nerve root.
What and where is an annular tear which is related to my cervical spine MRI?
The bony spine is made up of bones which stack one upon another. These bones are called vertebrae. These vertebrae are separated from each other by discs. There is a disc between every 2 vertebrae. The discs are hockey-puck-shaped cushions with a capsule very much like nylon tape, filled with a jelly-like subsance (called the nucleus pulposus). A herniated disc is a disc which has a tear in the capsule, from which protrudes some of the jelly-like substance. An annular tear is a tear in the disc. This is what the radiologist says you have when he sees a tear in the disc but nothing protruding through it. The question of whether an annular tear can actually cause pain is controversial. Some authorities say it can, some say it can't.
What does small annular rent with a central disc protrusion mean?
The disc between two vertebra has two parts. One inside is softer than the one around it. This second one is called the annulus. There is a small tear in this part. The central section is also protruding (sticking out). Both are pressing on a spinal nerve. See the link below for a visual:
The protrusion of muscle substance through a tear is?
A herniation is the protrusion of muscle substance through a tear.
