What is a small central right paracentral discal protrusion at C5 6?

∙ 11y ago
L5 is the last vertebra in the lumbar spine. S1 is the first vertebra in the sacral spine. Between each vertebra there is a disc that absorbs pressure and keeps the vertebra from grinding together (bone on bone). A protrusion means that the disc is sticking out from its normal space between the vertebra.

∙ 12y agoThis just means that in the lower part of your neck, two of your spinal discs are bulging out a tiny bit further than the edge of the bone (vertebrae). This is sometimes called a disc bulge or mild disc degeneration (normal wear and tear).
This is an MRI finding and is completely meaningless unless there are clinical symptoms that match this finding. This type of MRI finding, without clinical symptoms to match, could also just be called general wear and tear of your spine. Research studies tell us that up to 30% of the population has disc protrusion/disc bulge visible on MRI but will have no pain at all.
If this disc protrusion that is visible on MRI is a problem, it will most commonly cause a combination of neck pain, as well as pain in your arm, thumb and first-two fingers. If you have neck pain only (no arm or hand pain), it could be from the disc protrusion, or it could also be from one of a hundred other causes. MRI is not usually capable of determining if a disc bulge is causing neck pain alone. A clinical examination by a knowledgable physiatrist, orthopedist, neurologist or chiropractor should be able to determine if the disc protrusions seen on MRI are causing your symptoms with a few tests.

What is right para central herniation C6?
It is a protrusion (herniation) of disc material near the center of the spine (paracentral), in this case just to the right of center. The C6 designation indicates the herniation is located in the Cervical spine (neck) at the level of the 6th cervical vertebral space (there are a total of seven cervical vertebra -- C1 through C7). A couple of useful reference/education sites are www.spineuniverse.com and www.spine-health.com. Hope this helps!Bunny
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. Posterolateral disc protrusion indicates herniation of disk along the posterolateral margin of the disk to the spinal canal. Disc spur complex denotes a combined degenerative process with which the protruded disk is accompanied with adjacent bone change with spurring.
What does a small left paracentral disc herniation mean and how serious is it?
A disc herniation can be serious because it can cause severe pain and loss of feeling in your arms and legs. This kind of herniation basically means the rubbery cushion between the bones has moved out of its proper place.
