Herniated Nucleus Pulposus. Definition. A herniated disc is a fragment of the disc nucleus which is pushed out of the outer disc margin, into the spinal canal through a tear or rupture.. In the herniated disc's new position, it presses on spinal nerves, producing pain down the accompanying leg. This produces a sharp, severe pain down the entire leg and into the foot.
Paracentral Herniating Disc. A paracentral herniation occurs when the bulge of the affected intervertebral disc points in direction of the middle part of the spinal canal, also called the foramen.
