Diskusprolaps

Teenager with
low back pain and bilateral radicular pain for 5 monthsSagittal and axial (at the L5 level) T1 MRI without contrast of the lumbar spine shows central and posterior displacement of the L5 intervertebral disk.The diagnosis was disc herniation.

Diskusprolaps
L4/5 links paramedian bis rezessal, nach kaudal umgeschlagen und wohl sequestriert (STIR sagittal).

Disc herniation refers to the displacement of intervertebral disc material beyond the normal confines of the disc but involving less than 25% of the circumference (to distinguish it from a disc bulge). A herniation may contain nucleus pulposus, vertebral endplate cartilage, apophyseal bone/osteophyte and annulus fibrosus.
Disc herniations can be divided into groups in a variety of ways. Commonly they are divided into protrusion vs extrusion:
- protrusion
- base wider than herniation
- confined to disc level
- outer annular fibers intact
- extrusion
- base (a.k.a. neck) narrower than herniation 'dome'
- may extend above or below endplates or adjacent vertebrae
- complete annular tear with passage of nuclear material beyond disc annulus
- disc material can then migrate away from annulus or become sequestered
Herniations can further be classified as:
- contained
- with intact outer fibers of annulus fibrosus and posterior longitudinal ligament, or
- with intact posterior longitudinal ligament alone
- not contained
- tear of outer fibers of annulus fibrosus and posterior longitudinal ligament
