ICD-10-CM Code for Schmorl's nodes M51. 4.
Schmorl nodes represent a herniation or an extrusion of the intervertebral disc nuclear material through the vertebral body endplate, with displacement of this material into the adjacent vertebral body [2]. The herniated tissue may form a defect in the upper or lower surface of the involved vertebra.
In young individuals, Schmorl's nodes may appear as a result of juvenile kyphosis (also known as Scheuermann's disease), a condition in which the vertebrae get structurally deformed and become wedge-shaped for an unclear reason.
Conclusion: Schmorl's nodes do occur acutely as the result of a single traumatic episode, and are almost always associated with other acute spinal injury. The frequency and occurrence of acute Schmorl's nodes in motorcyclists suggest that axial loading is an important mechanism.
Schmorl's nodes are a common type of lesion that can occur in the spine. They develop when the tissue inside the intervertebral discs slips out and pushes up or down into the adjacent vertebrae.
The spinal cord ends between the first and second lumbar vertebrae (L1-L2). Below this level, the remaining nerves form the cauda equina, a bundle of nerves resembling a horse's tail.
The L4 and L5 are the two lowest vertebrae of the lumbar spine. Together with the intervertebral disc, joints, nerves, and soft tissues, the L4-L5 spinal motion segment provides a variety of functions, including supporting the upper body and allowing trunk motion in multiple directions.
Lumbar spondylosis is an age-related degeneration of the vertebrae and disks of the lower back. These changes are often called degenerative disk disease and osteoarthritis. The common condition is marked by the breakdown of one or more of the disks that separate the bones of the spine.
Spondylosis is a condition in which there is abnormal wear on the cartilage and bones of the neck (cervical vertebrae). It is a common cause of chronic neck pain. Spondylosis is caused by chronic wear on the spine.
A Schmorl's node is defined as a simple endplate intravertebral herniation resulting from trauma or idiopathic causes. Although Schmorl's nodes have been considered clinically insignificant, they might indicate an active symptomatic process or cause serious complications.
This age-related condition is called lumbar spondylosis. It's also frequently called arthritis of the lower back and results in chronic lower back pain that worsens with age and increases with movement. When this condition occurs in the neck, it's called cervical spondylosis.
Schmorl's nodes: common, highly heritable, and related to lumbar disc disease. Arthritis Rheum.
Schmorl's nodes or Schmorl's nodules are protrusions of the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc through the vertebral body endplate and into the adjacent vertebra.
