What is posterior herniation?

Posterior left paracentral disc herniation at L5-s1 superimposed on concentric disc bulging. That's what I have

Posterior means "rear" - Anterior means "front. What the report is saying is that the L5/S1 disk is herniated at the back of the disk (posterior) and is impinging on the front of the spinal cord as a result. This is very common for that particular disk, as well as the L4/5 disk.

You have posterior longitudinal ligament on the back side of the body of the vertebrae and discs. So there is herniation of the nucleus pulposus, coming out of the tear in the annulus fibrosus.

Iridocele is herniation of the iris.

what is superimposed right paracentral disc protrusion measures 1.3 cm transverse and 3.5 cm anterior-posterior mean?

A broad herniation means that at least 25% of the disc is affected. A central herniation means that the herniation is toward the spinal column. A broad central herniation of the disc with impingement on the thecal sac is a herniation in which a large portion of the disc is protruding toward the spinal column and is pressing against the membrane which surrounds the spinal cord.

A T1-T2 disc herniation is a herniation that happens in the middle or lower back. This will cause extreme pain and possible numbness in the limbs.

Cyst means bladder or sac, rect means rectum, and cele means hernia or protrusion. A cystocele is herniation of the bladder, and rectocele is herniation of the rectum. Put together, cystorectocele is herniation of the urinary bladder and rectum (usually referring to herniation into the vagina.)

-cele is the medical terminology combining form meaning herniation.

A herniation toward the front of the body. Since there are no nerves or spinal cord to compress there, these are typically asymptomatic.

Cystocele is herniation of the bladder.

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.

Death or permanent debilitation follows herniation of the brain stem. Such herniation will cause compression of those structures within the brain stem that control the most vital functions of the body (breathing, heart beat, consciousness).

The nasopharynx is posterior to the nose.

Cystoptosis is prolapse of the bladder into the urethra. In contrast, cystourethrocele is herniation of the bladder and urethra, and cystocele is herniation of the bladder.

The Posterior Femoral Cutaneous Nerve serves the posterior aspect of the thigh.

For a bit of background, a spinal disc herniation is a condition in which the vertebrae/discs bulge or distend beyond its usual anatomical position. Many people refer to a spinal herniation as a "slipped disc", while in fact this is not true. A spinal disc cannot simply 'slip' out of position unless very severe trauma is involved. The term 'posterior' is a medical term meaning 'backwards'. In this context, it means the spinal disc has…
