What is disc protrusion of the C6-C7 and how serious is it and will it need surgery? Thank you
What else can I help you with?
Do you need surgery is you have small-to-moderate sized broad-based disk protrusion that is right paracentral?
If you are symptomatic then you may require surgery. Your spine specialist is the best judge.
What is a Prominent broad based posterior and lateral disc protrusion?
My husband just got his mri report, at c2-c3 minimal left foraminal, c3-c4-3mm posterior central protrusion,c4-c5-posterior annular bulging, c5-c6prominent posterior bulge/broad based protrusion causing right goraminal stenosis, c6-c7 small posterior protrusion.. He has sever pain in his left arm...what should we do..
What is a broad based disc protrusion 2.5 mm in the AP dimension with an annula tear?
2.5mm broad based disc protusion
What does it mean broad-based left paracentral foraminal disc protrusion combining with facet arthropathy creating mild overall central stenosis and left lateral redess stenosis at the l4-l5 level?
A broad-based left paracentral foraminal disc protrusion at the L4-L5 level indicates that the intervertebral disc is bulging outwards towards the left side, potentially pressing against nearby nerves. Coupled with facet arthropathy, which is wear and tear of the facet joints, this condition leads to mild central stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) and left lateral recess stenosis (narrowing of the area where the nerve root exits). This combination can result in symptoms such as lower back pain, leg pain, or numbness due to nerve compression.
What does moderate broad based right lateral protrusion mean?
Moderate broad-based right lateral protrusion refers to a condition where an intervertebral disc bulges outward towards the right side, affecting a wider area of the disc rather than a focal point. This protrusion can potentially compress nearby nerves or spinal structures, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the corresponding areas of the body. The term "moderate" indicates that the protrusion is not severe but still significant enough to warrant attention or treatment.
Could someone tell me what this means L4-5 small broad based annular disc bulge and mild facet arthropathy?
L4-5 small broad-based annular disc bulge refers to a slight protrusion of the disc material between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae in the lower back, which can occur with aging or degeneration. Mild facet arthropathy indicates early signs of arthritis in the facet joints that help stabilize the spine. Together, these findings may cause mild discomfort or stiffness but are often manageable with conservative treatment. It's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.
What is broad based disc protrusion partially effacing the ventral sac?
A broad-based disc protrusion is a condition where the intervertebral disc bulges outwards, affecting a wide area rather than a localized point. When it partially effaces the ventral sac, it means that the protrusion is pressing against the front part of the spinal canal, potentially impacting the spinal cord or nerve roots. This can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness, depending on the severity and specific location of the protrusion. Treatment often involves physical therapy, medication, or in some cases, surgical intervention.
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.
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 broad based protrusion?
Broad-based protrusion refers to a type of intervertebral disc herniation where the disc bulges outward over a wide area rather than at a single point. This condition can lead to pressure on adjacent nerves or the spinal cord, potentially causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs. It is often identified through imaging studies like MRI and may require conservative treatment, physical therapy, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention.
What is a broad based central disc protrusion that is superimposed on moderate generalized disc bulging?
You have injured a disc in your back ( little shock absorbers between your vertebrae ), and it is bulging out at the site of the injury. Take care or it may become herneated or rurtured.
What is a broad-based 4 or 5 mm rightforaminal and extraforaminal disc protrusion?
A broad-based 4 or 5 mm right foraminal and extraforaminal disc protrusion refers to a condition where an intervertebral disc bulges outward at a width of 4 to 5 millimeters, specifically towards the right side of the spinal canal and the area where spinal nerves exit (foramina). This type of protrusion can compress nearby nerves, potentially leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the areas supplied by those nerves. It is often identified through imaging studies like MRI and may require conservative treatment or, in some cases, surgical intervention.
