1 (A) Lateral view of the vertebral column, showing the levels at which the various nerve roots exit; nerves exit above their numbered vertebral body in the cervical spine but below in the lumbar spine. (B) Lateral disk prolapse in cervical spine, causing compression of exiting nerve root and compressing cervical cord. (C) Lateral disk prolapse in lumbar spine, causing compression of the root exiting at the next lower vertebral level (eg, L4 disk compresses the L5 nerve root). (D) Central disk prolapse in lumbar spine, causing bilateral root compression. Source: Motor Disorders, Clinical Neurology, 9e Citation: Aminoff MJ, Greenberg DA, Simon RP.
