What does disc desiccation with 3 mm broad posterior central protrusion with high signal annular fissure mean?
Disc desiccation refers to the loss of hydration in the intervertebral disc, which can lead to decreased disc height and potential pain. A 3 mm broad posterior central protrusion indicates that the disc material is bulging outwards towards the spinal canal, which may compress nearby nerves. The presence of a high signal annular fissure suggests a tear in the outer layer of the disc, which can be associated with pain and instability. Together, these findings may indicate degenerative changes in the spine that could contribute to discomfort or neurological symptoms.
What causes desiccation disc?
The cause of disc desiccation is from replacement of the hydrophilic glycosaminoglycans within the nucleus polyposis with fibrocartilage. It is considered a degenerative disorder.
Disc desiccation at each lumbar lore?
Disc desiccation is the loss of fluid in the intervertebral discs. When this occurs at each lumbar lore, the disc is not herniated or bulging and there is no surgical treatment.
What is multilevel disc desiccation?
Multilevel disc desiccation is a health condition of the spine. This health condition or disease is the loss of fluid between the discs of the spine. This fluid or jelly acts as cushion for the spine against pain. Multilevel disc desiccation is a degenarative disease.
Is a disc desiccation the same as a herniated disc?
No desiccation indicates some kind kind of break down in the disk itself. Herniating a disc is to have it moved out of position (pinched or something like that) which can in some cases be fixed.
Can you work with a desiccation disc an bulge in spine?
yes
What does underlying disc desiccation mean?
Disc desiccation happens when fluid is lost from the intervertebral discs of the spine. Disc dessication leads to acute back pain, due to excessive wear on the vertebrae (small bones which make up the spine) and the discs (located between the vertebrae) themselves.
Can you get social security disability for disc desiccation?
Oh, dude, disc desiccation? That's like when your spinal discs dry out, not a fun time. Technically, you can apply for Social Security Disability for it, but it's not a guaranteed ticket to easy street. They'll need to see how much it's affecting your ability to work and function, so it's not just a case of "my back hurts, give me money."
Is disk desiccation along with bulging disk hitting on nerve roots a disabling combination?
i got a disc bulge, herneated disc about 4 years go. since the injury it has progressed into disc desiccation. it's become very painful and i get spinal injections now. I'm only 19. ):
What is Dessication of the disc?
Desiccation of the disc refers to the drying out and degeneration of the intervertebral discs in the spine. This can lead to a decrease in disc height, loss of elasticity, and can be a contributing factor to conditions such as disc herniation or degenerative disc disease. Symptoms can include back pain, stiffness, and decreased flexibility.
What is degenerative endplate changes?
It's an MRI sign that the intervertebral discs are aging.
What does it mean when you have disk height loss with disk desiccation and a broad-based annular disk bulge with a fissure within the annulus?
Disc dessication is loss of water content of disc that occurs as a normal part of the aging process, but also occur with pathologic degeneration of discs. This leads to loss of the discs height and makes it a less effective "cushion" between the bones, since it also more stiff. A bulging annulus means the edge of the disc adjacent to the spine (usually) has "bulged" posteriorly and may dent or impinge upon the spinal sac, the nerve roots, or the spinal cord. An annular fissure is a crack or tear or the disc annulus (the outer coating of the disc, as opposed to the center part (nucleus)
