Intervertebral disc 🦴🏋️‍♀️ #vertebrae #anatomy | Dr. Ishtiaque Arafat

Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) in dogs can be described as a slipped disc, ruptured disc, herniated disc, or bulging disc. Whether your pet suffers from trauma to the spine or has abnormalities due to their breed, the gel-like center of the intervertebral disc may turn dry and brittle, rupture through the fibrous outer layer and push on the spinal cord. This may cause severe pain, limited mobility, or even paralysis. 🐾 #ivdd #ivddawareness #veterinaryneurology #neurology #vetmed | Southeast

🧠 Understanding Disc Degeneration: From Grade 1 to Grade 5 🩻 This MRI comparison clearly demonstrates the progressive stages of intervertebral disc degeneration. From a healthy, hydrated disc (Grade 1) to a severely degenerated, collapsed disc (Grade 5), this visual serves as a vital reference for radiologists, orthopedists, and medical students alike. Early detection and management are key to preventing severe spinal conditions! 🦴 #DiscDegeneration #SpineHealth #RadiologyEducation #MRI #Radi
