What is a nerve root diverticula?
A nerve root diverticula is an abnormal outpouching of the spinal nerve root sleeve, which is the covering of the nerve roots as they exit the spinal cord. This can sometimes cause irritation or compression of the nerve root, leading to symptoms such as radiating pain or weakness. Treatment may involve rest, physical therapy, or in some cases, surgery to relieve the pressure on the nerve.
What is nerve root compromise?

What does without nerve root effacement mean?
Without nerve root effacement means that the nerve roots exiting the spinal cord are not being compressed or displaced by nearby structures such as herniated discs or bone spurs. This is typically a positive finding on imaging studies as it suggests there is no significant pressure on the nerves that could cause symptoms like pain or numbness.
What does nerve root sleeve truncation mean?
Nerve root sleeve truncation refers to the surgical procedure that involves the removal or alteration of the nerve root sleeve, which is the protective sheath surrounding a spinal nerve root. This procedure is often performed to relieve pressure on the nerve caused by conditions such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis. Truncation can help alleviate pain and restore function by reducing inflammation and improving nerve mobility.
