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 is spondylotic ridging at L5 S1?

Spondylotic ridging found on MRI is when there is calcification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, which runs behind the bodies of vertebrae caudal to cephlad. Neural foramina are the openings in the spinal column where the spinal nerves exit to the periphery.


What is posterior disk osteophytic ridging?

Basically this medical term is bone spur formation. Disc osteophyte is a spinal cord condition that is caused by the development of bone spurs or osteophytes on the vertebrae or intervertebral discs.

What is posterior disc osteophyte?

Posterior disc osteophyte is a condition where more than one spinal vertebrae or disc is affected by bone spurs. This can happen during aging, from a degenerative disease, obesity, or from your body producing extra nodules of bone.


What is posterior disc herniation of the L5-S1 impinging on the anterior aspect of the spinal cord?

Posterior means "rear" - Anterior means "front. What the report is saying is that the L5/S1 disk is herniated at the back of the disk (posterior) and is impinging on the front of the spinal cord as a result. This is very common for that particular disk, as well as the L4/5 disk.

What does minimal posterior marginal osteophytic bony ridging associated with symmetric annular bulge?

Minimal posterior marginal osteophytic bony ridging indicates the formation of small bone spurs at the back of the vertebrae, which is a common sign of degenerative changes in the spine. The symmetric annular bulge refers to a uniform protrusion of the intervertebral disc, which may occur due to disc degeneration or aging. Together, these findings suggest mild degenerative disc disease but typically do not indicate severe pathology. Clinical correlation and further evaluation may be needed to assess symptoms or functional impact.
