What is diffuse disc bulge along with facet joint arthropathy?
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 is significant intervertebral disc space signal loss at C6-C7 with minor diffuse disc bulge?
Significant intervertebral disc space signal loss at C6-C7 is a nerve impingement which may be painful or cause loss of feeling. A minor diffuse disc bulge is a minor bulge of the affected disc.
What is a diffuse bulge in L3?
L3 is the 3rd lumbar vertebrae, in your lower back. Diffuse bulge would be the shape of a deformation, probably of the disc, that the radiologist has spotted.
What can be done for mild diffuse disc bulge and for chronic back pain down the right side?
I have lower chronic back pain, I have diffuse disc bulge it hurt's to walk and when I left my right leg. what can be done for this?and what are the syptmons
What is a disc bulging?
A dorsal disc bulge is the most dangerous to correct because of the spinal cord. The diffuse dorsal disc bulge causes pain in the side of the back, tingling in the torse, all the way to the lower extremities, and lack of strength in lower extremities.
What is a annular disc bulge and a concentric disc bulge?
You have an intervertebral disc in between your vertebrae. It has got outer tough annulus fibrosus and inner soft nucleus pulposus. usually the nucleus pulposus escapes the disc. But at times the annular disc may bulge out. Osteophytes are seen due to degenerative changes in the upper and lower borders of your vertebrae. Disc means probably all over the edge.
What does it mean when it says mild diffuse disc bulge effacing the thecal sac with minimal narrowing of the neuro foramina in an MRI?
In order to best help translate, lets break this sentence down into smaller parts to explain it:A "diffuse disc bulge" refers to one of the discs in your spine. The discs separate the bones of your spine, called vertebrae, and provide cushion support as well as motion to the vertebrae. A diffuse bulge of one of these discs refers to the disc bulging out from all sides (right, left, front, and back), except not the top or bottom."effacing the thecal sac" means that that diffuse disc bulge is contacting the thecal sac such that being able to see that sac is obscured by the diffuse disc bulge. Thecal sac refers to the the "sac" which is a membrane (called dura mater) that contains the spinal cord and cerebrospinal fluid. All this statement implies is that the disc bulge is contacting the membrane that contains the spinal cord."minimal narrowing of the neuro foramina" - probably you meant neural foramina. At each level in the spine where there is a disc, right and left nerve roots come out to innervate tissues in the body. The holes that they come out are called neural foramina. This statement means that the size, or diameter, of those holes has been minimally narrowed by this diffuse disc bulge.
What does MRI mean if Minimal diffuse disc bulge present with moderate to severe fact disease?
The Minimal diffuse disc bulge referes to the shock absorbing "disc" that sits between the vertebra. it means that the disc is sticking out past what is normal limit of the vertebra, but not enough to be affecting surrounding structures such as the nerve roots. Moderates to severe "facet" disease refers to likely degenerative changes like arthritis on the bony facets which are part of the vertebra
What causes diffuse bulge?
A diffuse bulge in the context of spinal health typically refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc protrudes outward uniformly across a broad area rather than at a specific point. This can be caused by age-related degeneration, which weakens the disc structure, or by excessive pressure from repetitive motions or heavy lifting. Factors such as poor posture, obesity, and lack of physical activity can also contribute to the development of a diffuse bulge. Over time, these issues can lead to pain and discomfort due to nerve compression or inflammation.
Can a acident cause a disc bulge?
Yes a accident can cause a disc bulge
What does at l4 l5 broad based5 disc bulge and more prominent facet hypertrophyligamentous flavum hypertrophy?
A broad-based disc bulge at the L4-L5 level indicates that the intervertebral disc is protruding outward, which can potentially compress nearby nerves and contribute to lower back pain or radiculopathy. Facet hypertrophy refers to the enlargement of the facet joints, which can result from degeneration or arthritis, leading to further pain and reduced mobility. Ligamentous flavum hypertrophy involves thickening of the ligament that runs along the spine, which can also narrow the spinal canal and contribute to spinal stenosis. Together, these findings suggest degenerative changes in the lumbar spine that may require medical evaluation and management.
