An artificial disc is a medical device used to replace a damaged or degenerated intervertebral disc in the spine, aimed at restoring mobility and reducing pain. Mild foraminal narrowing refers to a slight reduction in the space where spinal nerves exit the vertebral column, potentially leading to nerve compression. When an artificial disc is placed, it may cause or be associated with mild foraminal narrowing, which can affect nerve function but may not always result in significant symptoms. Monitoring and management by a healthcare professional are important to address any related issues.

What is severe disc space narrowing at C5-6?

What can disc desiccation and mild disc bulge resulting in narrowing of the spial canal?
Disc desiccation and a mild disc bulge can lead to the narrowing of the spinal canal, a condition known as spinal stenosis. This narrowing can put pressure on the spinal cord and nearby nerves, potentially causing symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the extremities. While often part of the aging process, these changes can also result from injury or degenerative diseases. Management may include physical therapy, medication, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention.

What is an annular disc bulge which is eccentric to the left and there is a mild bilateral lateral recess narrowing left greater than right indicative of?
A bulging disk on the left side.
What is moderate neural foraminal narrowing to right and mild to left at L5-S1 with moderate broad based disc bulge present?
Moderate neural foraminal narrowing to the right and mild narrowing to the left at the L5-S1 level indicates that the openings where the nerves exit the spine are constricted, potentially leading to nerve compression on the right side. The presence of a moderate broad-based disc bulge suggests that the intervertebral disc is protruding outward, which can contribute to the narrowing and potentially cause pain or neurological symptoms. This condition may require monitoring or treatment, depending on the severity of symptoms. Consulting a healthcare provider for an appropriate evaluation and management plan is advisable.
What is mild posterior protrusion at C6-7 mildly effaces the thecalthere is also mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing from uncinate spurring?
Mild posterior protrusion at C6-7 refers to a slight bulging of the cervical intervertebral disc at this level, which is causing mild pressure on the thecal sac, the protective covering around the spinal cord. Additionally, the presence of uncinate spurring, which are bone growths at the edges of the vertebrae, is resulting in mild narrowing of the neural foramina on both sides. This narrowing can potentially affect the spinal nerves as they exit the spinal column, possibly leading to symptoms such as pain or numbness in the arms. Overall, these findings suggest mild degenerative changes in the cervical spine.
What is Broad based disc protrusion at L2-3 contributing to mild central canal narrowing in additional to mild bilateral facet arthropathy?
Broad-based disc protrusion at L2-3 refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc at the lumbar level 2-3 bulges outwards, affecting a wide area. This protrusion can encroach upon the spinal canal, leading to mild central canal narrowing, which may compress nearby nerve structures. Additionally, mild bilateral facet arthropathy indicates degenerative changes in the facet joints on both sides, potentially contributing to pain and limited mobility. Together, these conditions can result in symptoms such as lower back pain, stiffness, or nerve-related issues.
What does mild right neural foraminal narrowing C4-5 due to right uncinate hypertrophy mean?
neurol foraminal right narrowing c4-5 mild moderate can it be serious?
What does left paracentral herniation C5-C6 withindents the thecal sac and mild left neuroforaminla narrowing at this level mean?
This seems like a "slipped disc" in the spine around the neck region (cervical spine) which is causing pressure on the surroundings of the spinal cord and nerve routes. The Mild left neuroforaminal narrowing refers to a narrowing of the cavity in the spine where nerves leave the spinal cord. Hope that helps!
