Jun 3, 2012 · In cervical spine magnetic resonance images, T1-2 disc space showed herniated disc material and compressed T1 root was identified. Laminoforaminotomy was performed with a posterior approach. The radiating pain and weakness …

Jun 24, 2021 · Thoracic Disc Herniations are rare, causes of midline back pain and sensory changes around the rib cage. Diagnosis is made with MRI studies of the thoracic spine. Treatment is usually activity modification, physical therapy, and pain management. Surgical management is indicated in patients with persistent pain or progressive neurological symptoms.

Type 0 herniated thoracic discs are small, taking up 40% of the spinal canal or less, and do not put large amounts of pressure on the spinal cord or spinal nerves. Most surgeons recommend observation for these lesions.

HNP frequently occurs between L5-S1 or the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae. Causes of HNP include natural degeneration, spine trauma, and spinal stenosis. Assessment findings include radiating pain, lower extremity weakness, and bowel/bladder incontinence.

Aug 7, 2023 · Nucleus pulposus herniation is the most common cause of sciatic pain and one of the most common indications for spine surgery worldwide. This condition presents as a displacement of the nucleus pulposus beyond the intervertebral disc space. The disc anatomy consists of two main structures, the nucleus pulposus (NP) and the annulus fibrosus (AF).

Symptoms of a thoracic disc herniation include upper back pain, radiating discomfort, numbness, and weakness.

Mar 8, 2025 · Thoracic disc herniation, also known as thoracic disc prolapse, is a rare, serious, but treatable medical condition in which the soft inner material of the thoracic intervertebral disc bulges or pushes through a weakness or tear in the tough outer disc …

Aug 9, 2022 · MRI exquisitely delineates herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) and its relationship with adjacent soft tissues. On MRI, HNPs appear as focal, asymmetric protrusions of disk material beyond the...
