Condition of the intervertebral disc, whereby some of the material which makes up the disc shifts to a position which irritates the nearby nerve for that spinal area
It is a focal protrusion of disc material beyond the posterior margins of the vertebral endplates The disc margin has an irregular morphology The annular layers may be partially or completely torn
{i} protrusion of an organ through an opening in its surrounding walls (especially in the abdominal region)
(Tıp, İlaç) A spinal disc herniation, incorrectly called a "slipped disc", is a medical condition affecting the spine, in which a tear in the outer, fibrous ring (annulus fibrosus) of an intervertebral disc allows the soft, central portion (nucleus pulposus) to bulge out. This tear in the disc ring may result in the release of inflammatory chemical mediators which may directly cause severe pain, even in the absence of nerve root compression. This is the rationale for the use of anti-inflammatory treatments for pain associated with disc herniation, protrusion, bulge, or disc tear
