Slipped disc in the lumbar spine, MRI scans
Slipped disc in the lumbar spine. Axial (left) and sagittal (right) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the lumbar spine of a 39-year-old man with a slipped (herniated) intervertebral disc. This herniation is of the disc between the L4 and L5 vertebrae, causing a bulge (arrowed in both images) outwards putting pressure on the spinal cord. This pressure can cause severe pain and other neurological symptoms. In this case, it has caused paralytic sciatica (paralysis and pain shooting down the leg) and sphincter disorders (affecting bowel movements). This is a severe herniation of the disc, with a disc fragment having migrated outwards. For a series of images of this condition, including arrows showing the location of the disc bulge, see C040/3347 to C040/3354.
