Small posterior disc bulges with mild endplate spurring?
what is Small posterior disc bulges with mild endplate spurring
What is a diffused disc bulge?
The name of the condition is self explanatory. The disc between the two vertebrae bulges out from all the sides.
What does Small broad based disc bulges at L12 L45 mean?
Disc bulges are characterized as focal or broad based. Focal means that less than 90 degrees of the disc is protruding outside of the radius of the vertebrae. Broad based means that 90 to 180 degrees of the disc are protruding outside of the vertebrae. The protruding discs are located in the lumbar region.
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.
What does moderate generalized disc bulges with bilateral neural foraminal narrowing mean to my function?
This could affect your range of motion.You may also have some numbness or tingling
What is a concentric disc bulge?
Circumferential disk bulge is a condition of the spinal column wherein 50 to 100 percent of the circumferential disk tissue goes over the edges of the ring apophyses. Ninety percent of disk bulges happen in the lower back area.
What can happen if an intervertebral disk is hernieated?
As the spinal disc becomes less elastic, it can rupture. When the disc ruptures, a portion of the spinal disc pushes outside its normal boundary--this is called a herniated disc. When a herniated disc bulges out from between the vertebrae, the spinal nerves and spinal cord can become pinched. There is normally a little extra space around the spinal cord and spinal nerves, but if enough of the herniated disc is pushed out of place, then these structures may be compressed.
What is posterior herniation?
Posterior herniation is when a disc in the spine becomes damaged and bulges outward from the spinal column toward the back. Common causes are work related injury and age.
What is a herinated disc?
Many patients with back pain, leg pain , or weakness of the lower extremity muscles are diagnosed with a herinated disc. When a disc herination occurs, the cushion that sits between the spinal vertebra is pushed out of it's normal position. A herinated disc would not be a problem if it wasn't for the spinal nerves which is very close to the edge of the spinal discs.
How tall is Brian Bulges?
Brian Bulges is 183 cm.
Posterior bulging disc?
This situation usually produces back pain. If the disc herniation and bulging is mild, back exercises (stretching and stregthening) are often the safest and best form of treatment. If pain is intractable, then surgery may be needed. (Back surgery has a spotty track record, due to the need to cut through back muscles, which then weaken the back and make for problematic recovery at times). As always, consult your physician (and, possibly, a good neurosurgeon) for your particular situation.
What does this mean Disc bulges of L34 and L5S1 do not result in neural compression?
It means that even though there is compression of the material between the discs there is no interference or pressure being put on the nerves that pass between them to the body.
