What else can I help you with?
What means asymmetric left-sided posterolateral foraminal and extraforaminal discogenic potrusion with annular tear in l2-l3?
I think spinal stenosis is the term you are looking for.
What is the difference between an annular rent and an annular tear?
An annular rent refers to a partial tear in the outer layer of the intervertebral disc, while an annular tear involves a complete tear through the outer layer. Both conditions can result in back pain and may require medical intervention for relief.
Can a annular tear be caused by a epidural?
NO
What is posterior annular tear?
A posterior annular tear is a painful condition in which the annulus, or the part of the spine that holds the nucleus in place tears.
What causes an Posterior annular tear of L5-S1?
A posterior annular tear is a tear in the ligament fibers that cover the inner core of a disc. The discs separate each vertebra in your spine. A posterior annular tear in the L5-S1 discs indicates the location in which these tears occur. L5 is the fifth and lowest of the lumbar vertebra and the S1 is the first and highest sacral vertebra.
Is an annular tear considered degenerative disc disease?
An annular tear of the disc is, generally speaking, traumatic. However, over time, this can lead to degenerative disease of the affected disc or discs.
What is a posterior annular tear in L5 S1 disc mean?
A posterior annular tear is a tear in the ligament fibers that cover the inner core of a disc. The discs separate each vertebra in your spine. A posterior annular tear in the L5-S1 discs indicates the location in which these tears occur. L5 is the fifth and lowest of the lumbar vertebra and the S1 is the first and highest sacral vertebra.
How long does it take for an annular tear to heal?
it hurts ur back
What is a median annular tear with hyperintensity behind the annulus and a 6 mm protrusion that effaces the epidural fat but not the neural foraminal elements?
This description suggests there is a disc herniation at the level corresponding to the annular tear, pressing on the spinal cord or nerves. The disc material is protruding out of the disc space, causing compression of nearby structures. Symptoms may include back pain, leg pain, or neurologic deficits, and treatment options may include conservative management or surgical intervention.
What does central protrusion with annular tear mean?
Central protrusion with annular tear refers to a condition in the intervertebral disc where the inner gel-like material (nucleus pulposus) bulges out through a tear in the outer layer (annulus fibrosus). This protrusion typically occurs at the center of the disc and can lead to pressure on nearby spinal nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness. The annular tear indicates damage to the disc's outer layer, which can result from degeneration or injury. Timely diagnosis and treatment are essential to manage symptoms and prevent further complications.
What is effacement of the left lateral recess?
what is effacement of the left lateral recess and severe foraminal stenosis
What does it mean to have Left paracentral annular tear with asymmetric disc protrusion causing anterior thecal sac compression and mild narrowing of both neural foraminae Can it be cured completely?
What do they do for this. It is some kind of operation done?
