Central disc protrusion refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc bulges outwards into the spinal canal, often pressing against the spinal cord or nerve roots. Obliteration of the epidural fat indicates that the protrusion has caused the fat tissue surrounding the spinal cord to be displaced or diminished, which can lead to increased pressure and potential neurological symptoms. This condition is typically associated with Back pain, leg pain, or numbness, depending on the severity and location of the protrusion. Diagnosis is usually confirmed through imaging studies like MRI.

What is a paracentral protrusion of disc effaces the epidural fat minimally effaces the thecal sac on L5 S1?
This describes a minor bulging of a spinal disc at the L5-S1 level, which is causing a slight compression of the thecal sac (the membrane surrounding the spinal cord) and minimal displacement of the epidural fat. It may lead to symptoms like low back pain or sciatica. Tracking the condition with a healthcare provider is recommended.
What is a broad based central disc protrusion that is superimposed on moderate generalized disc bulging?
You have injured a disc in your back ( little shock absorbers between your vertebrae ), and it is bulging out at the site of the injury. Take care or it may become herneated or rurtured.
What is central and right posterolateral disc protrusion spur complex?
It is descriptive term for the degenerative spine on CT or MRI. Central disk herniation means a central and posterior protrusion of disk material. Posterolateral disc protrusion indicates herniation of disk along the posterolateral margin of the disk to the spinal canal. Disc spur complex denotes a combined degenerative process with which the protruded disk is accompanied with adjacent bone change with spurring.
What is a mild posterior central and right paramedian disc protrusion at L4-L5?
What is a L5-S1 , right paramedian protusion
What is spondylitic protrusion?
Spondylosis is pain and degeneration of the spine. A spondylitic protrusion is the disc tissue that has displaced beyond the disc space.
What is central disc protrusion?
You have injured a disc in your back ( little shock absorbers between your vertebrae ), and it is bulging out at the site of the injury. Take care or it may become herneated or rurtured.
What is disc deccation with mild disc space height loss with a small broad posterior disc protrusion with a posterior central annular tear?
Disc degeneration refers to the deterioration of the intervertebral discs, which can lead to a reduction in disc height. In this case, the mild loss of disc space height indicates that the disc is losing hydration and structural integrity. A small broad posterior disc protrusion means that the disc material is bulging backward, potentially pressing on nearby nerves. The presence of a posterior central annular tear suggests that there is a rupture in the outer layer of the disc, which can contribute to pain and discomfort.
