What is disc space narrowing with vacuum disc phenomena?
The presence of linear radiolucency in the disk space result in space narrowing with vacuum disc. It is associated with degenerative disk disease.
Can bone spurs lead to herniated disks?
Bone spurs, or osteophytes, can contribute to the development of herniated discs by causing narrowing of the spinal canal or intervertebral foramen, which may put pressure on the surrounding discs and nerves. This pressure can weaken the disc structure, making it more prone to herniation. Additionally, the presence of bone spurs can lead to altered biomechanics in the spine, increasing the risk of disc injury. However, while bone spurs can be a contributing factor, herniated discs can occur due to various other reasons as well.
What is narrowing of the the thecal?
The narrowing of a thecal sac depends on where it is located. It might be a bulging disc or a pinched nerve.
L4 - L5 considerable disc space narrowing and desiccation with broad-based posterior and posterolateral extension of inteervertebral disc with midline annular tear?
broadbased narrowing at the l5/s1
What is narrowing of the disk L4 5?
what is narrowing of the L4-5 disc mean and what can be done to treat it
What is C3-c7 neural foraminal narrowing?
Narrowing of the neural formina at the C7- 1 was a narrowing of the spinal canal where the nerve roots exit. This can occur with or without disc protrusion.
What abnormal resutls can a myelogram give?
A myelogram may reveal a herniated disk, tumor, bone spurs, or narrowing of the spinal canal
What is severe disc space narrowing at C5-6?
Mild disk interspace narrowing is the physical description for "mild degenerative disks" or possibly degenerative disk disease.
What does “ broad-based disc bulging slightly asymmetric to the left with associated posterior lateral spurs?
This is called a broad based disc herniation
What is moderate neural foraminal narrowing?
Neural foraminal compromise is the narrowing of the spinal column. It is the result of disc degeneration over a period of time. Bulging and narrowing of the spinal column, or foramen, causes nerve compression or bulging in the affected area.
How does an abnormal myelogram read?
A myelogram may reveal a herniated disk, tumor, bone spurs, or narrowing of the spinal canal (spinal stenosis).
What is artificial disc with mild biforaminal narrowing?
An artificial disc is a medical device used to replace a damaged or degenerated intervertebral disc in the spine, aimed at restoring mobility and reducing pain. Mild foraminal narrowing refers to a slight reduction in the space where spinal nerves exit the vertebral column, potentially leading to nerve compression. When an artificial disc is placed, it may cause or be associated with mild foraminal narrowing, which can affect nerve function but may not always result in significant symptoms. Monitoring and management by a healthcare professional are important to address any related issues.
