A broad-based posterior disc bulge refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc extends outward over a wide area at the back of the spine, potentially compressing nearby nerves or the spinal cord. Moderate posterior facet arthropathy indicates degeneration or inflammation of the facet joints at the back of the vertebrae, which can cause pain and stiffness in the spine. Together, these conditions can lead to discomfort and reduced mobility, often seen in older adults or those with degenerative spinal changes. Treatment typically focuses on pain relief and improving function through physical therapy, medications, or other interventions.
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.. He has sever pain in his left arm...what should we do..
A diffuse disc bulge means a disc in the neck or spinal cord is outside of the space it should be normally. Facet joint arthropathy refers to a degenerative disease that affect the cartilage. Diffuse disc bulge along with facet joint anthropathy results in serious disabling health issues.
what can be done for this
It means the disc bulge is not big enough to press on the spinal canal. It could also mean the nerves exiting theforamina are not beingencroachedupon. Posterior means behind.
A posterior subligamentous disc bulge refers to a condition where an intervertebral disc protrudes posteriorly and beneath the surrounding ligamentous structures, specifically the posterior longitudinal ligament. This type of bulge can lead to compression of nearby spinal nerves or the spinal cord, potentially causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the affected areas. It is often detected through imaging studies such as MRI. Treatment may vary depending on the severity of symptoms and can include physical therapy, medication, or in some cases, surgery.
The prominent bulge just posterior and inferior to the external auditory meatus is the mastoid process of the temporal bone. This bony prominence serves as an attachment site for several muscles involved in head movement and provides protection to the structures within the mastoid air cells.
Fairly rare MRI term associated with spondylolisthesis at the L5/S1 level... The disk is dragged forward by the spinal slippage and on MRI appears to be herniated (which it isn't)...
hi can you help me i had mri the findings, disc degeneration at l2/3 ,l4/5 ,and l5/s1. broad based posterior disc protrusion at l4/5 causing a moderate impression on the anterior theca.very mild posterior disc bulge l5/s1.normal capacity lumbar spinl canal . the foramina are clear .normal conus, what can i do i cant sleep and i cant go out said
what is 1 mild bilateral foraminal stenosis 2 Clinical correlation 3 moderate to severe bilateral
The gastrocnemius muscle is located with the soleus in the posterior (back) compartment of the leg. It is associated with the "bulge" in the calf muscle.
epiblast is a layer formed by differentiation in the inner mass cell.cells at the posterior end of this epiblast form a bulge called primitive streak.gives rise to embryonic mesoderm and ectoderm
L4-5 small broad-based annular disc bulge refers to a slight protrusion of the disc material between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae in the lower back, which can occur with aging or degeneration. Mild facet arthropathy indicates early signs of arthritis in the facet joints that help stabilize the spine. Together, these findings may cause mild discomfort or stiffness but are often manageable with conservative treatment. It's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.
