  2. Disc herniation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_herniation

    So, for example, a right postero-lateral herniation of the disc between vertebrae C5 and C6 will impinge on the right C6 spinal nerve. The rest of the spinal cord, however, is oriented differently, so a symptomatic postero-lateral herniation between two vertebrae will impinge on the nerve exiting at the next intervertebral level down.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerative_disc_disease

    Degenerative disc disease; Other names: Degenerative disc disorder, intervertebral disc degeneration: Degenerated disc between C5 and C6 (vertebra at the top of the picture is C2), with osteophytes anteriorly (to the left) on the lower portion of the C5 and upper portion of the C6 vertebral body.

  4. Retrolisthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrolisthesis

    The soft tissue of the disc is often caused to bulge in retrolistheses. These cannot be determined by plain films, as the x-ray passes through the soft tissue. A study by Giles et al., stated that sixteen of the thirty patients (53%) had retrolisthesis of L5 on S1 ranging from 2–9 mm; these patients had either intervertebral disc bulging or ...

  5. Disc protrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_protrusion

    Jensen and colleagues, in an MRI study of the lumbar spine in 98 asymptomatic adults, found that in more than half, there was a symmetrical extension of a disc (or discs) beyond the margins of the interspace (bulging). In 27 percent, there was a focal or asymmetrical extension of the disc beyond the margin of the interspace (protrusion), and in ...

  6. Modic changes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modic_changes

    Since the disc is an avascular structure, it is an ideal environment for the growth of anaerobic bacteria. Propionibacterium acnes bacteria secrete propionic acid, which can dissolve fatty bone marrow and bone. Therefore, it was hypothesized that diffusion of propionic acid from the disc into the vertebrae results in bone oedema, i.e. Modic ...

    C5-C6, followed by C6-C7, is the most common location for radiculopathy in the neck. ... (most commonly at C7 and then the C6 level), degenerative disc disease ...

  8. Cervical spinal nerve 6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_spinal_nerve_6

    The cervical spinal nerve 6 (C6) is a spinal nerve of the cervical segment. [1] It originates from the spinal column from above the cervical vertebra 6 (C6). The C6 nerve root shares a common branch from C5, and has a role in innervating many muscles of the rotator cuff and distal arm, [2] including: Subclavius; Supraspinatus; Infraspinatus ...

  9. Spinal stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_stenosis

    Spinal stenosis is an abnormal narrowing of the spinal canal or neural foramen that results in pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. [6] Symptoms may include pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs. [1]
