A right centro-lateral disc osteophyte refers to a bony growth (osteophyte) that develops at the transverse edge of a disc in the spine, specifically on the right side and near the center. This condition often occurs due to degeneration of the intervertebral disc and can lead to nerve compression, resulting in pain, numbness, or weakness in the areas supplied by the affected nerves. It is typically assessed through imaging studies like MRI or CT scans and may require treatment ranging from physical therapy to surgical intervention, depending on severity.
