A herniated disc has four levels or degree in size: bulge, protrusion, extrusion and sequestered fragment. Bulge is the smallest while a sequestered fragment is a condition wherein some fragments has chipped off from the disc.
A sequestered disc cephalad refers to a herniated disc fragment that has broken off and moved upwards within the spinal canal. This can put pressure on nearby nerves or the spinal cord, causing symptoms such as pain, weakness, or numbness. Treatment may involve surgery to remove the sequestered fragment.
A synonym for a small incomplete part or fragment is a "segment" or a "piece."
A posterolateral herniated disc with a superiorly migrated fragment refers to a situation where the intervertebral disc has bulged or ruptured towards the back and side (posterolateral direction) and a portion of the disc material has moved upward (superiorly). This can exert pressure on nearby spinal nerves or the spinal cord, potentially leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs. The location and migration of the herniated fragment can influence the specific symptoms experienced and may require medical evaluation for appropriate treatment options.
