- The nucleus presses against the annulus, causing the disc to bulge or prolapse outward. The bulged disc material is still contained within the annulus. But in some cases, the nucleus pushes completely through the annulus and squeezes out of the disc. This is called a disc herniation or protrusion. Herniation and protrusion are two words for the same thing. If a piece of the disc breaks off, it's called a sequestered fragment. Surgery is almost always needed for sequestration. The loose piece can enter the spinal canal and put pressure on the spinal cord or spinal nerve roots causing serious problems.

Spinal Fusion Surgery When spinal fusion is performed in the cervical spine along with a diskectomy, it’s called cervical fusion. Instead of removing a vertebra, the surgeon removes disks or bone spurs from the cervical spine, which is in the neck. There are seven vertebrae separated by intervertebral disks in the cervical spine.

What is a desiccated disc? Disc dessication is a common finding on MRI, although it is considered a positive finding. In other words, the discs should not be dessicated. Dessicated disc is also known as a dried up disc. If the disc dries up, it leads to break down and arthritis. If it progresses, it may bulge and possibly cause pressure onto the spinal nerves, which leads to numbness, pain, or tingling sensations into the legs.
