Uncinate disease does not exist, per se. "Uncinate fits" were first described in 1881. These "fits" are now known as temporal lobe seizures. The disease is known as temporal lobe epilepsy.

What is hypertrophy of the uncinate process with a diffuse bulging annuluse centrally and to the left with a slight indentation of the cord?

This description suggests a condition where the bony projection (uncinate process) in the spine has grown in size, contributing to pressure or compression on the surrounding structures like the spinal cord. The bulging disc material may be pushing towards the left side, potentially causing some compression or indentation on the spinal cord in that region.

What is bulge or uncinate proliferation?

Hughlings Jackson believed that seizures were electrical discharges within the brain. The discharges started at one point and radiated out from that point. This suggested to him that the brain was divided into different sections, and that each section controlled the motor function (or movement) of a different part of the body. And since the pattern never varied, the way the brain is organized must also be set. Jackson's research on epilepsy stretched across a broad spectrum and included uncinate attacks, intellectual aurae, and many other manifestations, which are now collectively covered by the term temporal lobe epilepsy.
