A left parasagittal disc herniation occurs when the intervertebral disc protrudes towards the left side of the spinal canal, often affecting the nerves that exit the spine in that area. This type of herniation can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the corresponding arm or leg, depending on the affected spinal region. It is typically diagnosed through imaging studies like MRI and may require treatment options ranging from physical therapy to surgical intervention, depending on the severity of symptoms.

What is small central disc herniation indenting the ventral margin of the the the thecal sac?
A broad herniation means that at least 25% of the disc is affected. A central herniation means that the herniation is toward the spinal column. A broad central herniation of the disc with impingement on the thecal sac is a herniation in which a large portion of the disc is protruding toward the spinal column and is pressing against the membrane which surrounds the spinal cord.

A cut parallel to the midsagittal plane would produce a parasagittal section?
Yes, a parasagittal section is a cut parallel to and offset from the midline (midsagittal plane) of the body. This type of cut separates the body into unequal left and right portions.
What does herniation of a vertebral disc involve?
When a disc herniates, the jellylike substance pushes through and causes the harder outer ring (annulus fibrosus) to compress a nerve root in the spinal cord. Herniation of a vertebral disc can cause varying degrees of pain
Is a bulge and herniation the same thing?
No, a bulge and a herniation are not the same thing. A bulge refers to a generalized extension of the intervertebral disc beyond its normal confines, while a herniation involves a more focal or localized displacement of disc material that may compress nearby nerves.
