Disc desiccation
What causes desiccation disc?
The cause of disc desiccation is from replacement of the hydrophilic glycosaminoglycans within the nucleus polyposis with fibrocartilage. It is considered a degenerative disorder.
Disc desiccation at each lumbar lore?
Disc desiccation is the loss of fluid in the intervertebral discs. When this occurs at each lumbar lore, the disc is not herniated or bulging and there is no surgical treatment.
What is multilevel disc desiccation?
Multilevel disc desiccation is a health condition of the spine. This health condition or disease is the loss of fluid between the discs of the spine. This fluid or jelly acts as cushion for the spine against pain. Multilevel disc desiccation is a degenarative disease.
Is a disc desiccation the same as a herniated disc?
No desiccation indicates some kind kind of break down in the disk itself. Herniating a disc is to have it moved out of position (pinched or something like that) which can in some cases be fixed.
Can you work with a desiccation disc an bulge in spine?
yes
What does underlying disc desiccation mean?
Disc desiccation happens when fluid is lost from the intervertebral discs of the spine. Disc dessication leads to acute back pain, due to excessive wear on the vertebrae (small bones which make up the spine) and the discs (located between the vertebrae) themselves.
Is disk desiccation along with bulging disk hitting on nerve roots a disabling combination?
i got a disc bulge, herneated disc about 4 years go. since the injury it has progressed into disc desiccation. it's become very painful and i get spinal injections now. I'm only 19. ):
What is degenerative endplate changes?
It's an MRI sign that the intervertebral discs are aging.
What is Dessication of the disc?
what is a multilevel disc desiccation with posterior disc/spur at C-4-c5.c6.c7 effacing the ventral thecal sac and contracting the ventral cord
What does it mean when you have disk height loss with disk desiccation and a broad-based annular disk bulge with a fissure within the annulus?
Disc dessication is loss of water content of disc that occurs as a normal part of the aging process, but also occur with pathologic degeneration of discs. This leads to loss of the discs height and makes it a less effective "cushion" between the bones, since it also more stiff. A bulging annulus means the edge of the disc adjacent to the spine (usually) has "bulged" posteriorly and may dent or impinge upon the spinal sac, the nerve roots, or the spinal cord. An annular fissure is a crack or tear or the disc annulus (the outer coating of the disc, as opposed to the center part (nucleus)
How can you determine from the MRI how bad the disc desiccation is at L5-S1 level?
Get a doctor that passed med school.
