A broad central herniation of the disc with impingement on the thecal sac is a herniation in which a large portion of the disc is protruding toward the spinal column and is pressing against the membrane which surrounds the spinal cord.

What does a small left paracentral disc herniation mean and how serious is it?

Is genetics a factor in disc degeneration?
Growing scientific evidence also points to genetic factors in disc herniation, especially in families with a history of predisposition to early-onset sciatica and disk herniation.
What is right para central herniation C6?
It is a protrusion (herniation) of disc material near the center of the spine (paracentral), in this case just to the right of center. The C6 designation indicates the herniation is located in the Cervical spine (neck) at the level of the 6th cervical vertebral space (there are a total of seven cervical vertebra -- C1 through C7). A couple of useful reference/education sites are www.spineuniverse.com and www.spine-health.com. Hope this helps!Bunny
What is a broad-based central disc herniation?
A broad-based central disc herniation refers to a type of spinal disc herniation where the disc protrudes centrally and covers a wider area than a focal herniation. This condition occurs when the nucleus pulposus, the gel-like center of the disc, bulges out through the annulus fibrosus, which is the tough outer layer, potentially pressing on nearby spinal nerves or the spinal cord. Symptoms may include back pain, radicular pain, or neurological deficits, depending on the severity and location of the herniation. Treatment options typically range from conservative management, such as physical therapy and medications, to surgical intervention if necessary.
What is Moderate central disk herniation?
Disk herniation refers to an injury to the pad between the vertebral lumbar bones of the spine. Moderate central disk herniation refers to moderate injury that causes back pain but without particularly?æsignificant pain in the legs.
