A member asked:
Central or paracentral disc herniation. what is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Location: A central disc herniation is when the herniation bulges equally down the center of the canal. A paracentral herniation is when the disc is more towards the left or right. This may lead to symptoms going down one leg more than the other.
