Posterior annular bulging at C3-C4 refers to the outward protrusion of the annulus fibrosus, the tough outer layer of an intervertebral disc, at the cervical spine level between the third and fourth cervical vertebrae. This bulging can occur due to degeneration, injury, or age-related changes, potentially leading to nerve root compression or spinal canal narrowing. Symptoms may include neck pain, stiffness, or neurological issues depending on the severity and impact on surrounding structures. Treatment options can vary from conservative management, such as physical therapy, to surgical intervention in more severe cases.
