1 All About Herniated Discs Anatomy & Pathology Conflict of Interest Disclosure DR. HABER CERTIFIES THAT, TO THE BEST OF HIS KNOWLEDGE, NO AFFILIATION OR RELATIONSHIP OF A FINANCIAL NATURE WITH A COMMERCIAL INTEREST ORGANIZATION HAS SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED HIS VIEWS ON THE SUBJECT ON WHICH HE IS PRESENTING. Objectives: Evaluate the societal impact of a bad back. Describe and discuss the anatomy of a normal disc. 1

3 Anatomy of the Cervical Spine Definitions: Disc: Intervertebral Fibro-Cartilage which lies between adjacent vertebra 3
4 Definitions: Nucleus Pulposus: Hydrated gel-like matter that resists compression Definitions: Anterior and Posterior Spinal Ligaments: Ligaments running along the anterior and posterior aspect of the spine overlying the annulus fibrosis Definitions: Annulus Fibrosis: Radial tire-like structure that is made up of laminae composed of concentric sheets of collagen fibers at various angles. Its role is to enclose and protect the integrity of the Nucleus Pulposus 4
5 Definitions: Apophyseal Joints: Joints at the posterior aspect of the arch that add strength to the arch and articulate with the vertebral bodies above and below. Facets are those portions of the vertebral bodies that are part of the articulating joint. Each vertebral body has 2 facets. Definitions: Spinal Canal: Tube in which the spinal cord traverses Radiographic Anatomy CAT Scan Anatomy-Normal Cervical spine Dorsal spine Lumbar spine 5

15 Thoracic Discitis The structural components and their role in life Why is there a intervertebral disc? What does it do? What occurs when it degenerates? What happens when it herniates? Definitions of Disc Pathology Classical Definitions that are used inconsistently Herniated Disc Tear or rupture of the Annulus Fibrosis with resultant rupture of the contents(nucleus Pulposus) Bulging Disc Extension of Annulus Fibrosis(not torn) and contained Nucleus Pulposus from the normal anatomic confines and extension 1) anteriorly 2) posteriorly 3) postero-laterally Protruding Disc lost in the wasteland of confusing contradictory terms 15
16 Definitions of Disc Pathology-continued Extruded Disc When the disc herniates that portion of the herniated disc increases in its vertical length and is expanded. It may move cephaled or caudad. Sequested Disc When a herniated disc losses its connection with its normal anatomic intervertebral space and migrates(extruded disc + lost connection) Dessicated Disc When a normally well hydrated disc losses water (frequently an assessment only made on MRI) Osteophyte/Discal Complex When the osteophytic spur and desiccated disc extend into the canal What do the definitions really mean? Answer: very little as precise indicators of pathology In reality It is far more important to discuss the impact that the pathology is having on structural components Thecal sac Neural foramina Nerve roots Clinically Relevant Data Does the disc appear new or old(water or dry)? Is there a tear at the Annulus Fibrosis? Does the disc compromise the Spinal Canal? Does it impact /pressure the Spinal Cord? Does it extend into the Neural Foramina? Is it a focal or broad based herniation? 16
