A tiny central protrusion at the C4-5 level refers to a mild bulging of the intervertebral disc in the cervical spine, specifically between the fourth and fifth cervical vertebrae. This protrusion may impinge on nearby spinal structures, potentially causing symptoms such as neck pain, tingling, or weakness in the arms if it affects nerve roots. It is often identified through imaging studies like MRI and may require monitoring or conservative treatment, depending on the severity of symptoms.

It is descriptive term for the degenerative spine on CT or MRI. Central disk herniation means a central and posterior protrusion of disk material. Posterolateral disc protrusion indicates herniation of disk along the posterolateral margin of the disk to the spinal canal. Disc spur complex denotes a combined degenerative process with which the protruded disk is accompanied with adjacent bone change with spurring.
What is a L5-S1 , right paramedian protusion
You have injured a disc in your back ( little shock absorbers between your vertebrae ), and it is bulging out at the site of the injury. Take care or it may become herneated or rurtured.
Central disc protrusion refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc bulges outwards into the spinal canal, often pressing against the spinal cord or nerve roots. Obliteration of the epidural fat indicates that the protrusion has caused the fat tissue surrounding the spinal cord to be displaced or diminished, which can lead to increased pressure and potential neurological symptoms. This condition is typically associated with back pain, leg pain, or numbness, depending on the severity and location of the protrusion. Diagnosis is usually confirmed through imaging studies like MRI.
