Will you need surgery for focal left foraminal disc protrusion that contacts the exiting left L4 nerve root?
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.
What doessuperimposed right subarticular foraminal disc protrusion mean?
A superimposed right subarticular foraminal disc protrusion refers to a condition in which an intervertebral disc in the spine bulges out into the foramina—small openings where spinal nerves exit—specifically on the right side. This protrusion can compress nearby nerves, potentially leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the areas supplied by those nerves. "Superimposed" indicates that this protrusion may be occurring alongside other existing spinal issues, complicating the overall condition. Effective diagnosis and treatment are essential to address symptoms and prevent further complications.
What does this mean shallow right foraminal protrusion?
A shallow right foraminal protrusion refers to a mild bulging or herniation of an intervertebral disc that extends into the foraminal space on the right side. This can potentially compress nearby nerves as they exit the spinal column, possibly leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the areas served by those nerves. The term "shallow" indicates that the protrusion is not severe or extensive. It is often assessed through imaging studies like an MRI.
What is C3-c7 neural foraminal narrowing?
Narrowing of the neural formina at the C7- 1 was a narrowing of the spinal canal where the nerve roots exit. This can occur with or without disc protrusion.
What does an MRI mean when it says prominent left anterolateral disc protrusion extrusion at L5-s1 with recess and foraminal encroachment Nerve root effacement and displacement?
An MRI report indicating a "prominent left anterolateral disc protrusion extrusion at L5-S1" means that the intervertebral disc between the fifth lumbar vertebra and the first sacral vertebra is bulging and has partially ruptured. This protrusion is causing encroachment on the neural recess and foraminal space, potentially affecting nearby nerve roots. "Nerve root effacement and displacement" suggests that the protrusion is compressing and displacing the nerve roots in that area, which can lead to symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs.
What is a Prominent broad based posterior and lateral disc protrusion?
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..
What is mild annular bulging with small central disc protrusion?
small central disc protrusion at c3-4
What is superimposed central protrusion?
superimposed central & left disc protrusion
What is spondylitic protrusion?
Spondylosis is pain and degeneration of the spine. A spondylitic protrusion is the disc tissue that has displaced beyond the disc space.
What is a subligamentous disc protrusion?
Lumbar disc protrusion is a common spinal disc condition that causes lower back pain and other symptoms throughout a patient's lower body. The lumbar spine (lower back) is susceptible of disc protrusion because it supports most of the body's weight and is extremely flexible.
What is paracentral disc protrusion?
Paracentral disc protrusion is a disorder of the spine that causes neck and back pain. An intervertebral disc is swollen or bulging and is putting pressure on the nerve roots when you are diagnosed with this disorder.
What does left uncinate hypertrophy and grade 1 disc protrusion mean?
left uncinate hypertrophy and grade i disc protrusion mean spinal canal stenosis
