Posterior annular bulging at C3-C4 refers to the outward protrusion of the annulus fibrosus, the tough outer layer of an intervertebral disc, at the cervical spine level between the third and fourth cervical vertebrae. This bulging can occur due to degeneration, injury, or age-related changes, potentially leading to nerve root compression or spinal canal narrowing. Symptoms may include neck pain, stiffness, or neurological issues depending on the severity and impact on surrounding structures. Treatment options can vary from conservative management, such as physical therapy, to surgical intervention in more severe cases.

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.

What is posterior ridging and disk prominence?
It is remodling of the back side of the bony vertebral bodies, causing a ridge-like effect, while at the same time, there is a bulging of the annular disk material. It is this phenomenon which can cause impression onto the spinal cord, which travels through a canal behind the vertebrae. These, along with a couple of others are characteristic of degenerative disk disease.
What does disc desiccation with 3 mm broad posterior central protrusion with high signal annular fissure mean?
Disc desiccation refers to the loss of hydration in the intervertebral disc, which can lead to decreased disc height and potential pain. A 3 mm broad posterior central protrusion indicates that the disc material is bulging outwards towards the spinal canal, which may compress nearby nerves. The presence of a high signal annular fissure suggests a tear in the outer layer of the disc, which can be associated with pain and instability. Together, these findings may indicate degenerative changes in the spine that could contribute to discomfort or neurological symptoms.
