Acute prolapse of cervical intervertebral disc

Abstract

Protrusion of the intervertebral disc with intact annulus fibrosus and prolapse of the intervertebral disc with nucleus pulposus prolapse through the perforated annulus fibrosus are the consequence of degenerative changes in intervertebral disc tissues. Prolapse of the disc is usually directed posteriorly through a weak dorsal longitudinal ligament.KeywordsRotator CuffIntervertebral DiscHerpes ZosterNucleus PulposusAnnulus FibrosusThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
