It means that there is a small disc protrusion in the lower back (just above the sacrum). It is a painful condition that might interfere with walking and balance. Discs can herniate and sequester, so the notation is so that the condition can be monitored and evaluated.
L-5 is the fifth and lowest lumbar vertebra and S-1 is the first and highest sacral bone. Paracentral indicates a slightly off center, to the left, in this case, bulge.
If you have no symptoms it's just a slightly squashed intervertebral disk, if you do have symptoms it's were they're going to cut. (C5-C6 is low on your neck)

'M' would be the first letter of 'micro' which means 'small'. Usually 'very small'.

A small definition of biotechnology is when living things (bio, meaning life) are put together with technology, either by behavior or physically.

If you are symptomatic then you may require surgery. Your spine specialist is the best judge.

A disc herniation can be serious because it can cause severe pain and loss of feeling in your arms and legs. This kind of herniation basically means the rubbery cushion between the bones has moved out of its proper place.
This is often managed with chiropractic care, physical therapy, and medications. In rare cases where the patient does not respond, surgery may be necessary.
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..
That means there is a bulging disc that is impinging on the central canal (spinal cord) between the vertebral bodies at the C6-C7 levels, which may or may not be symptomatic.
A connector with a small protrusion to ensure proper mating with its counterpart.
The disc between two vertebra has two parts. One inside is softer than the one around it. This second one is called the annulus. There is a small tear in this part. The central section is also protruding (sticking out). Both are pressing on a spinal nerve. See the link below for a visual:
L5 is the last vertebra in the lumbar spine. S1 is the first vertebra in the sacral spine. Between each vertebra there is a disc that absorbs pressure and keeps the vertebra from grinding together (bone on bone). A protrusion means that the disc is sticking out from its normal space between the vertebra.
Herniation. A inguinal hernia is a protrusion of any bowel content (including omental fat) through the lower abdominal musculature.inguinal hernia
You might need surgery for focal left foraminal disc protrusion that contacts the exiting left L4 nerve root if the protrusion is affecting your quality of life. This type of surgery is most often accomplished via a very small incision.
