Herniated, a term that encompasses various medical conditions affecting different parts of the body. One such condition is a slipped disc, which occurs when the soft inner portion of a spinal disc protrudes through its outer layer. An axial view of C5 reveals the severity of this herniation, showcasing not only the compressed spinal cord but also the nerve roots affected by it. Brain injuries can also result in herniation, as seen in image C016 / 8920. This MRI scan displays how brain tissue may be displaced due to trauma or swelling, leading to potentially life-altering consequences. Sciatica, another form of herniation often caused by a compressed nerve root in the lower back or buttocks region, is depicted through an MRI scan capturing this painful condition. Moving away from spinal-related issues, intestinal hernias are illustrated beautifully in artwork C016 / 7525. These occur when part of the intestine pushes through weakened abdominal muscles or tissues and require immediate medical attention. Lower back pain is a common complaint among many individuals and can be linked to herniated discs. Images C016 / 9667 and C016 / 9668 showcase this discomfort while highlighting potential causes behind it. The advancement of medical technology has introduced artificial spinal discs as an alternative treatment for certain cases involving severe disc degeneration. X-rays labeled as C016 / 6561 and C016 / 6562 display these innovative devices designed to restore stability and alleviate pain within the spine. Lastly, hiatal hernias affect the upper part of our digestive system where stomach bulges upward into our chest cavity through an opening called hiatus. Endoscopic views captured in images C016 / 8330 and C016/8329 provide insight into this specific type of hernia that can cause heartburn and other uncomfortable symptoms. "herniated" encompasses various conditions affecting different areas like slipped discs impacting our spine's integrity or brain injuries causing tissue displacement.
