What is marginal osteophytes at L4 and L5 with reduced disc space?
MR imagemorphology is in favour of early marginal osteophytes at few levels. mildbroad disc bulge at l4-l5 causing minimal thecal sac indentation
What does loss of disc signal at L4-L5 and L5-S1 mean?
No
What is central disc bulge in L4 L5 and L5 S1?
A central disc bulge at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels refers to the protrusion of the intervertebral discs in the lower back, specifically at these lumbar spine segments. This bulging can occur when the disc's outer layer weakens, causing the inner gel-like material to push outward, potentially pressing on nearby nerves or the spinal cord. Symptoms may include lower back pain, sciatica, or numbness in the legs. Treatment options can range from physical therapy to medication, and in some cases, surgery may be considered.
What is a mild posterior central and right paramedian disc protrusion at L4-L5?
What is a L5-S1 , right paramedian protusion
What does L4-5 Annular bulge touching thecal sac resulting in moderate central stenosis with bilateral centrally located L5 neural abutment mean?
There's a bulge pushing through the ring holding the vertebral disk between L4 and L5. The bulge is narrowing the opening for the spinal cord somewhat, and is also touching both sides of the nerves coming off the spinal cord at L5.
Is there any physical therapy treatment for extrusion of L4-L5 disc with nerve root and thecal compression?
Have you tried gravity boots (i.e. hanging upside down).
What causes facet effusions at L4-L5?
Instability of that particular motion segment. More than likely there is a disc bulge causing radicular pain down the left back into the buttocks and eventually down the leg.
Disc bulge at the level of l4-5 with impingement on thecal sac?
A disc bulge at the L4-L5 level means that the disc between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae is protruding out of place. This can cause compression on the thecal sac, which contains nerve roots and spinal fluid. Symptoms can include pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, or in severe cases, surgery.
Why l4 -l5 disc problems are common than other?
The L4-L5 disks are at the highest stress point of the lower lumbar spine. As such, it's more susceptible to overstressing of the joint and aggravating the disks.,
What treatment for osteophytic lipping?
Osteophytic lipping is also known as a disc bulge. The treatment for a disc bulge is rest and non steroid anti inflammatories, for more advanced cases steroid injections can be tried.
Which intervertebral disc is the largest?
The largest intervertebral disc is typically found between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae in the lower back. This disc is known as the L4-L5 disc and tends to be larger due to the increased weight-bearing and range of motion demands placed on the lower back.

broadbased narrowing at the l5/s1
