A 2mm broad-based posterior disc protrusion at the L5-S1 level refers to a slight bulging of the intervertebral disc located between the fifth lumbar vertebra and the first sacral vertebra. This condition occurs when the disc's outer layer weakens, allowing the inner gel-like material to extend outward, potentially pressing on nearby nerves. While it may not always cause symptoms, it can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs if it irritates or compresses surrounding structures. Treatment options typically include physical therapy, pain management, and, in severe cases, surgical intervention.

broadbased narrowing at the l5/s1
What is disc deccation with mild disc space height loss with a small broad posterior disc protrusion with a posterior central annular tear?
Disc degeneration refers to the deterioration of the intervertebral discs, which can lead to a reduction in disc height. In this case, the mild loss of disc space height indicates that the disc is losing hydration and structural integrity. A small broad posterior disc protrusion means that the disc material is bulging backward, potentially pressing on nearby nerves. The presence of a posterior central annular tear suggests that there is a rupture in the outer layer of the disc, which can contribute to pain and discomfort.
What is a mild posterior central and right paramedian disc protrusion at L4-L5?
What is a L5-S1 , right paramedian protusion
What is central and right posterolateral disc protrusion spur complex?
It is descriptive term for the degenerative spine on CT or MRI. Central disk herniation means a central and posterior protrusion of disk material. Posterolateral disc protrusion indicates herniation of disk along the posterolateral margin of the disk to the spinal canal. Disc spur complex denotes a combined degenerative process with which the protruded disk is accompanied with adjacent bone change with spurring.
What is mild annular bulging with small central disc protrusion?
small central disc protrusion at c3-4
What is superimposed central protrusion?
superimposed central & left disc protrusion
What is spondylitic protrusion?
Spondylosis is pain and degeneration of the spine. A spondylitic protrusion is the disc tissue that has displaced beyond the disc space.
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 is degenerative disc disease at c6-c7 with posterior bar a disc protrusion mean?
Degenerative disc disease at C6-C7 refers to the deterioration of the intervertebral disc located between the sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae in the neck, which can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. A posterior bar or disc protrusion indicates that part of the disc has bulged out towards the back, potentially pressing on nearby nerves or the spinal cord. This condition can lead to symptoms such as neck pain, radiating pain in the arms, or neurological issues, depending on the severity and nerve involvement. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medication, or, in some cases, surgical intervention.
What is a subligamentous disc protrusion?
Lumbar disc protrusion is a common spinal disc condition that causes lower back pain and other symptoms throughout a patient's lower body. The lumbar spine (lower back) is susceptible of disc protrusion because it supports most of the body's weight and is extremely flexible.
