A ruptured annulus fibrosus is a condition often associated with a herniated disc in the spine, where the outer layer of the intervertebral disc tears, allowing the inner gel-like nucleus pulposus to protrude. This can lead to nerve compression, resulting in pain, numbness, or weakness in the affected area. Treatment options may include physical therapy, pain management, or, in severe cases, surgery to relieve pressure on the nerves.
What else can I help you with?
What are the two parts to the intervertebral disk?
The two parts of the intervertebral disc are the nucleus pulposus and the annulus fibrosis. The nucleus pulposus is considered the central portion while the annulus fibrosis is the anterior area of the disc.
What is the strong fibrous tissue outer periphery of the intervertebral disk called?
The strong fibrous tissue outer periphery of the intervertebral disk is called the annulus fibrosus.
What does multifocal bulging of the annulus fibrosis mean?
The annulus is a part of the spinal structure, specifically the outer fibers. When the annulus is damages, normally through aging (degenerative) or trauma, it allows the cervical disc, a gel-like material to expand. The more damage to the annulus, the more significant the bulge. In the worst cases, the disc "herniates" and may cause pressure on the nerve roots which run through the spine. In the neck (cervical spine), effected nerves run to the upper extremities. Therefore, if a bulging disc impinges on a nerve root in the cervical spine, it usually results in radiating pain, numbness and/or weakness in the arms. Surgery is sometimes necessary to remove the disc or otherwise relieve the pressure on the nerve root.
What is a basal annulus?
A basal annulus is a mushroom with an annulus located near the bottom of the stem.
What is the most common lethal genetic disease in US African Americans?
Cystic fibrosis it is characterized by thick mucus in the lungs
What does pneumoconiosis mean?
a disease of the lungs due to inhalation of dust, characterized by inflammation, coughing, and fibrosis.
When was Monetaria annulus created?
Monetaria annulus was created in 1758.
What is the space between two concentric circles called?
Annulus
What is the function of the annulus?
what is the function of the annulus, nucleus, neurovascular capsule, and cartilaginous endplate
is biapical focal fibrosis the same as pulmonary fibrosis?
No, biapical focal fibrosis is not the same as pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary fibrosis is a general term used to describe a group of conditions that cause scarring of the lung tissue. It is a progressive, long-term condition that can eventually lead to respiratory failure. Pulmonary fibrosis can be caused by a variety of factors, including environmental exposures, some medications, or underlying medical conditions. Biapical focal fibrosis is a specific type of pulmonary fibrosis. It is characterized by localized scarring of the lung tissue in two different areas of the lung, the apex and the base. This condition is more common in women and is often caused by an autoimmune response. Biapical focal fibrosis can be difficult to diagnose due to the localized nature of the scarring, but it can be identified through a combination of physical exam, imaging, and laboratory tests. Treatment options are limited and typically involve corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and other medications to slow the progression of the disease. In summary, biapical focal fibrosis is not the same as pulmonary fibrosis. While pulmonary fibrosis is a general term used to describe a group of lung diseases, biapical focal fibrosis is a specific type of pulmonary fibrosis characterized by localized scarring in two different areas of the lung.
Is the cross section of hollow cylider is called annulus?
Yes. An annulus is a circular disc with a concentric circular disc cut out of it.
What is annulus?
We all have cartilaginous discs that separate the spinal bones, or vertebraes, from each other. These discs allow for movement within the spine. Each disc has a fibrous outside, called the annulus fibrosus, and a liquid center, called the nucleus pulposus. Think of a disc as a jelly donut. The jelly is the nucleus and the donut is the annulus. If the fibers of the inner annulus tear, the jelly nucleus, which is tightly held in the center, follows the path of least resistance and pushes towards the wall of the annulus. When this happens, the wall of the annulus is warped and appears to bulge or protrude. This is known as a protruding annulus or ,in other words, a bulging disc. If the annulus continues to weaken and tear, the nucleus has potential to eject from the disc. The annulus will no longer be bulging, as the wall has opened and the jelly nucleus has squeezed out or herniated. This now constitutes a herniated disc.
