A prominent posterior disk margin osteophytosis refers to a bony outgrowth or spur that forms along the edge of a spinal disk in the lower back. This condition is commonly seen in degenerative disc disease or spinal Arthritis and can lead to pain and limited mobility in the affected area. Treatment options may include physical therapy, pain management, and in severe cases, surgery.

Which types of galaxies have a clearly defined disk component?

Spiral galaxies have a clearly defined disk component characterized by spiral arms, while lenticular galaxies have a disk without prominent spiral arms. Irregular galaxies may also have a disk component, but it is usually less organized than in spiral galaxies.

Is a ruptured disk the same as a budging disk?

No. The disk between the vertebra is like a sandwich. It has a filling that we call a disk. If the disk is pushed out a little bit, it is called a budging disk. If it comes out most of the way or all the way, it is a ruptured disk. This is more serious as it can push on the nerves so much so that you will need surgery. The other can sometimes be treated by physical therapy but it can get worse and rupture.

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 is central and right posterolateral disc protrusion spur complex?

It is descriptive term for the degenerative spine on CT or MRI. Central disk herniation means a central and posterior protrusion of disk material.

Disc spur complex denotes a combined degenerative process with which the protruded disk is accompanied with adjacent bone change with spurring.

What is posterior ridging and disk prominence?

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.
