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 Small posterior disc bulges with mild endplate spurring
2.5mm broad based disc protusion
is broad base central superimposed disc bad
This is called a broad based disc herniation
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.
My husband just got his mri report, at c2-c3 minimal left foraminal, c3-c4-3mm posterior central protrusion,c4-c5-posterior annular bulging, c5-c6prominent posterior bulge/broad based protrusion causing right goraminal stenosis, c6-c7 small posterior protrusion.. He has sever pain in his left arm...what should we do..
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.
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.
The name of the condition is self explanatory. The disc between the two vertebrae bulges out from all the sides.
A broad-based 4 or 5 mm right foraminal and extraforaminal disc protrusion refers to a condition where an intervertebral disc bulges outward at a width of 4 to 5 millimeters, specifically towards the right side of the spinal canal and the area where spinal nerves exit (foramina). This type of protrusion can compress nearby nerves, potentially leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the areas supplied by those nerves. It is often identified through imaging studies like MRI and may require conservative treatment or, in some cases, surgical intervention.
