Disc bulges are characterized as focal or broad based. Focal means that less than 90 degrees of the disc is protruding outside of the radius of the vertebrae. Broad based means that 90 to 180 degrees of the disc are protruding outside of the vertebrae. The protruding discs are located in the lumbar region.

What is a concentric disc bulge?
Circumferential disk bulge is a condition of the spinal column wherein 50 to 100 percent of the circumferential disk tissue goes over the edges of the ring apophyses. Ninety percent of disk bulges happen in the lower back area.
What is broad based protrusion?
Broad-based protrusion refers to a type of intervertebral disc herniation where the disc bulges outward over a wide area rather than at a single point. This condition can lead to pressure on adjacent nerves or the spinal cord, potentially causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs. It is often identified through imaging studies like MRI and may require conservative treatment, physical therapy, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention.
What is broad based disc protrusion partially effacing the ventral sac?
A broad-based disc protrusion is a condition where the intervertebral disc bulges outwards, affecting a wide area rather than a localized point. When it partially effaces the ventral sac, it means that the protrusion is pressing against the front part of the spinal canal, potentially impacting the spinal cord or nerve roots. This can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness, depending on the severity and specific location of the protrusion. Treatment often involves physical therapy, medication, or in some cases, surgical intervention.

What does moderate broad based right lateral protrusion mean?
Moderate broad-based right lateral protrusion refers to a condition where an intervertebral disc bulges outward towards the right side, affecting a wider area of the disc rather than a focal point. This protrusion can potentially compress nearby nerves or spinal structures, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the corresponding areas of the body. The term "moderate" indicates that the protrusion is not severe but still significant enough to warrant attention or treatment.
What is broad based disc bulge at c7-t1?
Broad based disc bulge is the issue of have no extra room for the person's spinal cord causing pain and numbness. Broad based disc bulge is often thought to be a pinched nerve until imagining is taken.
What is a Broad disc bulge?
A broad disc bulge refers to a condition in which the intervertebral disc protrudes outward beyond its normal boundary, affecting a wide area of the disc's circumference rather than being localized. This can occur due to degeneration or injury and may compress adjacent nerves or the spinal cord, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the surrounding areas. Broad disc bulges are often identified through imaging studies like MRI or CT scans and can vary in severity. Treatment options typically include physical therapy, medication, or, in more severe cases, surgical intervention.
What is a diffused disc bulge?
The name of the condition is self explanatory. The disc between the two vertebrae bulges out from all the sides.
