What Do Large Left Paracentral Extrusion Projecting Inferiorly And Left Paracentral Protrusion Suggest?
my husbands MRI showed L3-4 large left paracentral extrusion projecting inferiorly causing mass effect on the nerve root of the left thecal sac, including marked mass effect on the left L4 nerve root. at L4-5 there was a small left paracentral protrusion causing mass effect on the L5 nerve in the lateral recess. Can this be treated with cortisone shots, pain/ muscle relaxants and PT ?
