A C5 disk protrusion refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc located between the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae (C5-C6) in the neck bulges or protrudes beyond its normal boundaries. This can compress nearby spinal nerves or the spinal cord, potentially causing symptoms such as neck pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the shoulders, arms, or hands. The condition may arise from age-related degeneration, injury, or repetitive strain. Treatment options typically include physical therapy, pain management, and, in severe cases, surgical intervention.

What is a Small disc protrusion C5-6 vertebrae with mild compression deformity of dural sac?
A small disc protrusion at the C5-6 vertebrae means that the disc between these two vertebrae is slightly bulging. This protrusion is causing mild compression on the dural sac, which is the protective covering around the spinal cord and nerve roots. It may lead to symptoms like neck pain, arm pain, or numbness related to the affected nerve roots.
What is a displaced disk?
A blisterlike bulging or protrusion of the contents of the disk out through the fibers that normally hold them in place
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 a Prominent broad based posterior and lateral disc protrusion?

Can a car accident cause a degenerative disk protrusion?
They may be a causative factor.
Focal disc protrusion?
a small protrusion of the disk is caused buy pressure on the spine. speaking to the disk itself if there is a weakened spot in the canula the pressure on that disk is more susceptible to give under the spinal pressure, thus causing it to protrude possibly putting pressure directly on the sciatic nerve.
What is cervical spondylosis with paracentral disk protrusion?
Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative condition of the spine involving wear and tear on the cervical vertebrae and discs. Paracentral disk protrusion refers to an abnormal bulging of an intervertebral disk towards one side of the spinal canal, potentially compressing nearby nerve roots or the spinal cord in the cervical region, leading to symptoms such as neck pain, arm pain, and weakness.
What is a 4mm posterior disk protrusion?
A 4mm posterior disk protrusion refers to a condition in which the intervertebral disk has bulged or herniated backward (posteriorly) by 4 millimeters, typically affecting the spinal column. This protrusion can press on nearby nerves or the spinal cord, potentially resulting in pain, numbness, or weakness in the back or limbs. Such conditions are often diagnosed through imaging studies like MRI and may be treated with conservative measures such as physical therapy or, in severe cases, surgical intervention.
What does a right paramedian disc protrusion at C5 C6 causing focal complete effacement of right paramedian subarachnoid space and right side cord deformity mean and how serious is it?
A right paramedian disc protrusion at C5 - C6 that causes focal complete effacement is often referred to as a herniated disc. It can compress nerves and cause tingling and numbness. Your physician will be able to evaluate how serious the condition is and whether it requires treatment.

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.
