1 (A) Axial CT (same patient as in Figure 13-10) just below the L4-5 disk space shows compression of the right anterolateral aspect of the thecal sac by the HNP (arrow). The image was obtained below the L4-5 disk space, indicating inferior migration of herniated disk material. (B) Axial T1-weighted MR image of a different patient shows a far lateral right-sided HNP (arrows) with replacement of normal foraminal fat by intermediate signal representing the disk. Note normal perineural fat (arrowheads) in the left neural foramen. A far lateral HNP such as this would probably be missed if only myelography were performed. (C) Sagittal T2-weighted image shows a midline disk herniation at C5-6 that is compressing the spinal cord (arrowheads). Source: Chapter 13.
