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?
Mild disk interspace narrowing is the physical description for "mild degenerative disks" or possibly degenerative disk disease.
What is mild anterior disc margin osteophytes?
posterior disc osteophyte at c5 c6 mild indentation on anterior thecal sac. there is uncinate spurring with left formaminal narrowing c5 c6 . would this require surgery?
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 Straightening of the normal cervical curvature?
i have been miserable with pain in neck and shoulders and more,went to the er and the results show there is straightening to the normal curvature.on c2-c3 there is moderate disc bulging. without disc herniation. c3 and c4 there is broad disc herniation present extending to the right midlin.There is evidence of central canal and right sided forminal narrowing.on c4 - c5 broad disc/ridge complex is present.there is mild centralcanal narrowing and mild left foraminal narrowing. c5 and c6 there is mild disc bulging without disc herniation.Cuts at lung aspices are unremarkable.multilevel disc disease.
What does mild disc space narrowing posterior aspect L4-L5 level. Rudimentary disc at L5-S1mean?
Mild disc space narrowing at the posterior aspect of the L4-L5 level indicates a slight reduction in the height of the intervertebral disc at that location, which may suggest early degenerative changes. A rudimentary disc at L5-S1 means that the disc at that level is underdeveloped or may be absent, which can affect spinal mechanics and potentially lead to lower back pain or other symptoms. These findings typically require monitoring and may be managed with conservative treatments depending on associated symptoms.
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 does mild narrowing of c5 c6 disc mean?
Mild narrowing of the C5-C6 disc refers to a slight reduction in the space between the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae in the neck, often associated with age-related degeneration or disc herniation. This condition can lead to symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, or nerve compression, potentially resulting in pain or numbness in the shoulders or arms. While "mild" suggests a less severe issue, monitoring and management are essential to prevent further complications. It's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment options.
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.
