What is right Paracentral protrusion?

What is right Paracentral protrusion?

An asymmetrical soft tissue density arising from the L5/S1 disc and protruding into the spinal canal, reflecting a paracentral disc protrusion. It is encroaching upon the right lateral recess compressing the right S1 traversing nerve root.

What are protrusions on the spine?

A disc protrusion is the result of two bones of the spine (vertebrae) compressing on a weakened intervertebral disc. The disc then protrudes horizontally past the disc’s normal anatomic limits. Disc protrusion is a common form of spinal disc deterioration that can cause neck and back pain.

Is protrusion the same as herniated disc?

The bulged disc material is still contained within the annulus. But in some cases, the nucleus pushes completely through the annulus and squeezes out of the disc. This is called a disc herniation or protrusion. Herniation and protrusion are two words for the same thing.

Can you feel a herniated disc with your hand?

Sensations of tingling and numbness Patients with herniated discs located in the neck can feel numbness and tingling in the hands, fingers, and arm.

What does it mean to have a paracentral disc protrusion?

This is called a bulging disc or herniated disc, depending on the severity of disc damage. However, when a paracentral disc protrusion occurs, the disc extends toward the center of the spine and protrudes into the space between the spine and the spinal cord. If the disc impacts a nerve root near the spinal cord, severe pain and symptoms can occur.

Is it safe to remove a paracentral disc?

In some cases of a severely damaged disc, our surgeons may remove the entire disc and follow up with a stabilization surgery to insert an artificial disc in the empty space to immediately support the spine. Our procedures avoid the tearing and disruption of the surrounding spine muscles, making our surgery safer than traditional open back surgery.

What can serve as a factor in the development of protrusions?

Protrusion is not an independent pathology. This is the result of some other pathological process in the spine, mainly in the lumbar or cervical region. What can serve as a factor in the development of protrusions? There are several options: mechanical and physical overload of the spine.
