A right centro-lateral disc osteophyte refers to a bony growth (osteophyte) that develops at the transverse edge of a disc in the spine, specifically on the right side and near the center. This condition often occurs due to degeneration of the intervertebral disc and can lead to nerve compression, resulting in pain, numbness, or weakness in the areas supplied by the affected nerves. It is typically assessed through imaging studies like MRI or CT scans and may require treatment ranging from physical therapy to surgical intervention, depending on severity.

The prominent bony ridges on the lateral walls of the nasal cavity are called the turbinates or nasal conchae. They help increase the surface area of the nasal cavity to facilitate warming, humidifying, and filtering of the air before it reaches the lungs.
Osteophyte is one abnormal growth. Osteophyte complex is numerous bony growths which can affect not only more than one vertebrae (but several), and can be extremely painful when rubbing on the nearby nerves, and also causes narrowing of the neural foramina(?).

An osteophyte, commonly known as a bone spur, is a bony growth that forms along the edges of bones, typically in response to joint degeneration or arthritis. An osteophyte complex refers to a group of interconnected osteophytes or a combination of osteophytes and associated soft tissue changes, which can collectively contribute to joint stiffness and pain. While an osteophyte is a single entity, the complex indicates a broader pathological condition involving multiple growths or associated structures.

An osteophyte is a bone spur that forms usually because of damage to the surface of a joint, resulting in arthritis. A disc osteophyte occurs in the disc space between two vertebrae of the spine.
