L5 is the last vertebra in the lumbar spine. S1 is the first vertebra in the sacral spine. Between each vertebra there is a disc that absorbs pressure and keeps the vertebra from grinding together (bone on bone). A protrusion means that the disc is sticking out from its normal space between the vertebra.

What does right paracentral disc protrusion at T6-7 with moderate effacement of right anterolateral aspect of thecal sac mean?
You have protrusion of the disc between thoracic six and seventh vertebrae. This protrusion has created indentation on the sac of dura matter on the anterolateral region of the spinal cord. This can compress your spinal cord.
What is C6 7 right paracentral and foraminal disco-osteophytic protrusion?
C6-7 right paracentral and foraminal disco-osteophytic protrusion refers to a condition where there is a bulging of the disc and bone spurs (osteophytes) at the C6-C7 vertebral level in the cervical spine. The term "paracentral" indicates that the protrusion is located slightly off-center, towards the right side, which may impinge on nearby spinal nerves. This condition can lead to symptoms such as neck pain, radiculopathy, or tingling in the arms if nerve roots are affected. Treatment options may include physical therapy, pain management, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention.
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 does A t 11 anD T 12 a right paracentral disc protrusion with cord effacement meaN?
A right paracentral disc protrusion at the T11 and T12 vertebral levels refers to a bulging of the intervertebral disc that is located to the right side and is encroaching on the spinal cord. This condition can lead to cord effacement, meaning the spinal cord is being compressed or flattened due to the protrusion. This can potentially result in symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the areas innervated by the affected spinal nerves. Prompt evaluation and management by a healthcare professional are often recommended to address any associated neurological concerns.
What is shallow right parcentral disc protrusion?
A shallow right paracentral disc protrusion refers to a condition where an intervertebral disc bulges slightly out of its normal space, specifically on the right side and near the center of the spine. This protrusion can potentially compress nearby spinal nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the affected areas. It is typically diagnosed through imaging studies, such as an MRI, and treatment may involve physical therapy, medication, or, in some cases, surgery.
What is a mild posterior central and right paramedian disc protrusion at L4-L5?
What is a L5-S1 , right paramedian protusion
Can the problem of left paracentral disc protrusion at l5-s1 where the disc is abutting the left traversing nerve root be solved without surgery?
I've got the same problem but with a right sided protrusion, my osteopath and sports rehab therapist are confident i can stabilise it with yoga, swimming and area specific strengthening exercises! will let you know....
What is right para central herniation C6?
It is a protrusion (herniation) of disc material near the center of the spine (paracentral), in this case just to the right of center. The C6 designation indicates the herniation is located in the Cervical spine (neck) at the level of the 6th cervical vertebral space (there are a total of seven cervical vertebra -- C1 through C7). A couple of useful reference/education sites are www.spineuniverse.com and www.spine-health.com. Hope this helps!Bunny
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 does a small left paracentral disc herniation mean and how serious is it?
A disc herniation can be serious because it can cause severe pain and loss of feeling in your arms and legs. This kind of herniation basically means the rubbery cushion between the bones has moved out of its proper place.
What are the effects of right paracentral protusion of C5-C6 disck compressing the thecal disck?
A right paracentral protrusion of the C5-C6 disc compressing the thecal sac can lead to various neurological symptoms. Patients may experience localized neck pain, radicular pain radiating into the right arm, or numbness and weakness in specific muscle groups innervated by the affected nerve root. In severe cases, it can result in cervical myelopathy, with symptoms such as gait disturbances or loss of coordination. Early diagnosis and management are essential to prevent potential long-term complications.
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..
