Multilevel disc space narrowing?
That most probably means that pain tingling or discomfort being experienced is the result of the jell that holds the vertebrae apart and cushions them against shock is wearing away causing pressure to be put on nerves exiting the spinal chord between them.
Is a bulging Disc a herniated disc?
No. A bulging disc is a disc that has mildly or severely (depending on what the diagnostics prove) buldged from the intervertebral space. This means that the nucleus inside the disc is intact and still within the disc space, but the disc itself has bulged outward. A herniated disc is the same thing as a ruptured disc in which case the nucleus has exited the intervertebral space and the two vetrebrae are essentially "bone on bone". A bulging disc occurs more often as we age or as repetitive activities weaken the the disc. Herniated discs are more often specifically related to trauma/injury sustained and are more acute (sudden) in onset.
What does it mean if you have an eccentric right disc bulging at L5-S1 with minimal right-side neural foraminal narrowing?
Can you please explain what Lumber Scoliosis with sugnificant degenerative discase, in particular disc narrowing at L2/3 and L5/s1 with osteophytes formation. However, no suspicious lytic lesions were seen within the spinc. Kind regards, Candice Blackmore candiceb@hotmail.co.UK well, the degenerative disc disease means that your disc is slowly being squished down sooner or later there will be bone on bone rubbing and that's no bueno at all!!!! more than likely they will do a artificial disc replacement and the docotrs will go through your stomach right under your belly button. or they will fuse you at L5 S1 like they did me 3 weeks ago.
What is central disc herniation at L4-5 associated with concentric disc bulging and mild narrowing of the right and left neural foramen?
A herniated disc in the low back which makes the foramina (the bony holes on either side through which the spinal nerves pass) narrow. This can result in one or both of the spinal nerves being pinched, causing pain or numbness to radiate down one or both legs. On the other hand, it's possible that neither nerve is pinched at all.
What is a disc osteophyte bar?
An osteophyte is a bone spur that forms usually because of damage to the surface of a joint, resulting in arthritis. A disc osteophyte occurs in the disc space between two vertebrae of the spine.
What is narrowing of the disk L4 5?
what is narrowing of the L4-5 disc mean and what can be done to treat it
L4 - L5 considerable disc space narrowing and desiccation with broad-based posterior and posterolateral extension of inteervertebral disc with midline annular tear?
broadbased narrowing at the l5/s1
What is Disc space narrowing?
this refers to the disks in the spine ..as we age and other reasons the space begins to narrow between the vertabrae
What is severe disc space narrowing at C5-6?
Mild disk interspace narrowing is the physical description for "mild degenerative disks" or possibly degenerative disk disease.
What is disc narrowing?
this refers to the disks in the spine ..as we age and other reasons the space begins to narrow between the vertabrae
What is narrowing of the the thecal?
The narrowing of a thecal sac depends on where it is located. It might be a bulging disc or a pinched nerve.
Degeneration of L5-S1 disc with vacuum phenomenon?
Degeneration of the L5-S1 disc refers to the breakdown or wear-and-tear of the disc located between the fifth lumbar vertebra and the first sacral vertebra in the spine. The vacuum phenomenon is a radiographic finding where gas accumulates within the intervertebral disc space, typically seen in degenerated discs. This phenomenon is a result of the degenerative changes in the disc causing a decrease in pressure within the disc space, allowing gas to enter and form a vacuum. This condition can be associated with back pain, radiculopathy, and other symptoms related to spinal degeneration.
What is Disc narrowing with spurs?
means that your disc is becoming smaller and smaller (compressed) and that there are fragments of bones on your vertebrates
What is C3-c7 neural foraminal narrowing?
Narrowing of the neural formina at the C7- 1 was a narrowing of the spinal canal where the nerve roots exit. This can occur with or without disc protrusion.
What is the definition of vacuum phenomenon?
Vacuum phenomenon refers to the presence of gas within a joint space, often seen on imaging studies like X-rays or MRI scans. It typically occurs as a result of changes in pressure within the joint space and can be associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis or disc herniation.
What is gas in the disc space?
what is gas in the disc space?
Left lateral recess?
The left lateral recess refers to a condition whereby the narrowing reduces the available space within the exit doorway of the spinal canal. The left lateral recess may be caused by the arthritic overgrowth of the facet joints of the degeneration of the disc with the loss of the disc height.
