A nerve root diverticula is an abnormal outpouching of the spinal nerve root sleeve, which is the covering of the nerve roots as they exit the spinal cord. This can sometimes cause irritation or compression of the nerve root, leading to symptoms such as radiating pain or weakness. Treatment may involve rest, physical therapy, or in some cases, surgery to relieve the pressure on the nerve.
