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)

What is right paramedian annular fissure mean?
A right paramedian annular fissure typically refers to a tear or disruption in the annulus fibrosus of an intervertebral disc located towards the right side of the spine. This can lead to symptoms such as back pain, radiating pain, and possible nerve compression if the annular fissure impinges on nearby nerves. Treatment may include physical therapy, medication, or in severe cases, surgery.
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 does posterior annular fissure mean?
