What is a broad-based central disc herniation?
A broad-based central disc herniation refers to a type of spinal disc herniation where the disc protrudes centrally and covers a wider area than a focal herniation. This condition occurs when the nucleus pulposus, the gel-like center of the disc, bulges out through the annulus fibrosus, which is the tough outer layer, potentially pressing on nearby spinal nerves or the spinal cord. Symptoms may include back pain, radicular pain, or neurological deficits, depending on the severity and location of the herniation. Treatment options typically range from conservative management, such as physical therapy and medications, to surgical intervention if necessary.
