Q

Disc Protrusion:

Prolapse:

Extrusion:

Sequestration:

A

Disc Protrusion: disc buldge w/o AF rupture

Prolapse: only outer layer of AF contains the NP

Extrusion: AF has now perforated the NP and moved into epidural space

Sequestration: disc fragments have escaped the AF and are broken off into the epidural space

Q

Disc Extrusion and sequestration (uncontained) will present how?

A

LBP

Pain w/ cough and sneeze

true sciatia (radicular pain)

POSITIVE SLR

22

L4

23
Q
