A small midline subligamentous extension of disc material refers to a protrusion of intervertebral disc tissue that extends posteriorly, but remains beneath the surrounding ligamentous structures, particularly the posterior longitudinal ligament. This type of disc extension can occur due to degeneration or injury and may lead to local inflammation or nerve compression, potentially resulting in pain or neurological symptoms. It is often identified through imaging studies such as MRI. Understanding its characteristics is crucial for determining appropriate treatment options.

Spondylosis is pain and degeneration of the spine. A spondylitic protrusion is the disc tissue that has displaced beyond the disc space.
Paracentral disc protrusion is a disorder of the spine that causes neck and back pain. An intervertebral disc is swollen or bulging and is putting pressure on the nerve roots when you are diagnosed with this disorder.

A disc protrusion with osteophytes refers to a condition in the spine where there is a bulging or herniation of an intervertebral disc along with the formation of bony outgrowths called osteophytes. The disc protrusion occurs when the gel-like center of the disc pushes out through a tear in the outer layer, potentially causing compression of nearby nerves or the spinal cord. Osteophytes are bony spurs that form in response to degeneration or injury, often seen in conditions like osteoarthritis. This combination of disc protrusion and osteophytes can contribute to symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the affected area.
Foraminal encroachment refers to that degeneration in the spinal column which causes the obstruction of the foramina.
