Aasking for insight of these results Thanks!L3-L4: Hemangioma within the L3 vertebral body. L4-LS: Anterior aspect of the thecal sac is flattened. LS-S1: Moderate facet degenerative changes on the left. All with small broad based disc bulge?
HI
What is a Prominent broad based posterior and lateral disc protrusion?
My husband just got his mri report, at c2-c3 minimal left foraminal, c3-c4-3mm posterior central protrusion,c4-c5-posterior annular bulging, c5-c6prominent posterior bulge/broad based protrusion causing right goraminal stenosis, c6-c7 small posterior protrusion.. He has sever pain in his left arm...what should we do..
You have 3.5 mm l3-4 bulging disc need surgery?
no
What is a diffuse bulge in L3?
L3 is the 3rd lumbar vertebrae, in your lower back. Diffuse bulge would be the shape of a deformation, probably of the disc, that the radiologist has spotted.
Where is l3-l4 disc?
Put your hands on your hips with your thumbs pointed towards your back. If you follow your thumbs back to your spine you are approximately at the L3-L4 disk level.
Disc bulge at the level of l4-5 with impingement on thecal sac?
A disc bulge at the L4-L5 level means that the disc between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae is protruding out of place. This can cause compression on the thecal sac, which contains nerve roots and spinal fluid. Symptoms can include pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, or in severe cases, surgery.
What is disc hydration loss?
* Loss of lumber lordosis* Loss of normal disc hydration seen at multiple levels * Disc bulge seen at L2 -3 L3-4 L4-5 and L5-s1 levels indenting anterior thecal sac with impingement of the corresponding exit nerve roots at l3-4 l4-5 and l50s1 levels* No spinal canal stenosis seen* Normal vertebral bodises
What is loss of disc hydration?
* Loss of lumber lordosis* Loss of normal disc hydration seen at multiple levels * Disc bulge seen at L2 -3 L3-4 L4-5 and L5-s1 levels indenting anterior thecal sac with impingement of the corresponding exit nerve roots at l3-4 l4-5 and l50s1 levels* No spinal canal stenosis seen* Normal vertebral bodises
What is the prognosis on your MRI results Disc disaccation and mild disc bulge at l3-4?
Your spine specialist will help you through this problem. The prognosis is guarded in such cases. He will manage the problem conservatively, that means without operation, probably.
You have bulging disc at L2 L3 L4 L5 with desiccation annular bulging and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and slight narrowing of the spinal canal Are you a canadiate for surgery?
no
What is posterior disk osteophyte complex?
Disc osteophyte complex usually occurs as a person ages. It is a spinal condition where a spinal vertebra is afflicted by osteophytes or commonly known as bone spurs. This often results in experiencing headaches, stiff neck, and weakness in the shoulders.
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.
