A broad-based disc ridge complex at C3-C4 and C4-C5 refers to a structural change in the cervical spine where the intervertebral discs at these levels are bulging or protruding. This condition can lead to indentation of the ventral (anterior) aspect of the thecal sac, which houses the spinal cord and nerve roots, potentially causing compression or irritation of these neural structures. Such findings are often associated with neck pain and neurological symptoms, depending on the severity of the indentation. Evaluation by a healthcare professional is crucial for appropriate management.
