A moderate desiccated disc bulge refers to a condition in which the intervertebral disc has lost some of its moisture (desiccation) and has bulged outward beyond its normal boundary. This can occur due to aging or degeneration and may put pressure on nearby nerves or the spinal cord. While it can sometimes be asymptomatic, it may also lead to pain or discomfort in the back or neck, depending on its location. Treatment options vary based on symptoms and severity.

What does the term lobular bulge in a cervical spine MRI mean?
A lobular bulge in a cervical spine MRI refers to a localized, rounded protrusion of intervertebral disc material that extends beyond the normal disc contour. This bulge can compress nearby structures such as nerves or the spinal cord, potentially leading to symptoms like pain or neurological deficits. It is characterized by its lobular shape, indicating that the bulge is not uniform but rather has distinct, rounded extensions. Such findings are significant in assessing spinal health and diagnosing related conditions.
