What is a herniatic disc?
As the spinal disc becomes less elastic, it can rupture. When the disc ruptures, a portion of the spinal disc pushes outside its normal boundary--this is called a herniated disc.
What can happen if an intervertebral disk is hernieated?
As the spinal disc becomes less elastic, it can rupture. When the disc ruptures, a portion of the spinal disc pushes outside its normal boundary--this is called a herniated disc. When a herniated disc bulges out from between the vertebrae, the spinal nerves and spinal cord can become pinched. There is normally a little extra space around the spinal cord and spinal nerves, but if enough of the herniated disc is pushed out of place, then these structures may be compressed.
What is spinal disc hydration?
Drink water.
What is a herinated disc?
Many patients with back pain, leg pain , or weakness of the lower extremity muscles are diagnosed with a herinated disc. When a disc herination occurs, the cushion that sits between the spinal vertebra is pushed out of it's normal position. A herinated disc would not be a problem if it wasn't for the spinal nerves which is very close to the edge of the spinal discs.
Can a vacuum disc or degenerative disc disease at L4-5 be caused by a spinal tap?
A spinal tap (lumbar puncture) is typically not a direct cause of vacuum disc or degenerative disc disease at the L4-5 level. Vacuum disc phenomenon is generally associated with degeneration of the intervertebral disc, which can occur due to age, wear and tear, or injury over time. While a spinal tap can lead to complications such as infection or bleeding, it is unlikely to directly cause disc degeneration or vacuum phenomena.

What is small central disc herniation indenting the ventral margin of the the the thecal sac?
A broad herniation means that at least 25% of the disc is affected. A central herniation means that the herniation is toward the spinal column. A broad central herniation of the disc with impingement on the thecal sac is a herniation in which a large portion of the disc is protruding toward the spinal column and is pressing against the membrane which surrounds the spinal cord.
What is the meaning of posteriorly portruding disc?
A posteriorly protruding disc refers to a spinal disc that has herniated or bulged backward toward the spinal canal. This condition can compress nearby nerves or the spinal cord, potentially leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs. It is often associated with conditions like degenerative disc disease or injury. Treatment may include physical therapy, medication, or in severe cases, surgery.
Do you need surgery if you have a disc flattening your spinal cord?
