It is descriptive term for the degenerative spine on CT or MRI. Central disk herniation means a central and posterior protrusion of disk material. Posterolateral disc protrusion indicates herniation of disk along the posterolateral margin of the disk to the spinal canal. Disc spur complex denotes a combined degenerative process with which the protruded disk is accompanied with adjacent bone change with spurring.
What is a L5-S1 , right paramedian protusion
Spondylosis is pain and degeneration of the spine. A spondylitic protrusion is the disc tissue that has displaced beyond the disc space.
Central disc protrusion refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc bulges outwards into the spinal canal, often pressing against the spinal cord or nerve roots. Obliteration of the epidural fat indicates that the protrusion has caused the fat tissue surrounding the spinal cord to be displaced or diminished, which can lead to increased pressure and potential neurological symptoms. This condition is typically associated with back pain, leg pain, or numbness, depending on the severity and location of the protrusion. Diagnosis is usually confirmed through imaging studies like MRI.
Disc degeneration refers to the deterioration of the intervertebral discs, which can lead to a reduction in disc height. In this case, the mild loss of disc space height indicates that the disc is losing hydration and structural integrity. A small broad posterior disc protrusion means that the disc material is bulging backward, potentially pressing on nearby nerves. The presence of a posterior central annular tear suggests that there is a rupture in the outer layer of the disc, which can contribute to pain and discomfort.
Lumbar disc protrusion is a common spinal disc condition that causes lower back pain and other symptoms throughout a patient's lower body. The lumbar spine (lower back) is susceptible of disc protrusion because it supports most of the body's weight and is extremely flexible.
