Vacuum disc phenomenon is a collection of gas in the intervertebral disc space but rarely causes nerve compression. However, some rare type of vacuum phenomenon in the spinal canal may bring about posterior gas displacement within the epidural space.
Introduction: Intradiscal vacuum phenomenon (IVP) is the collection of gas within the intervertebral discs. It has been reported with various spinal disorders. The exact role of IVP in spinal degeneration leading to low back pain (LBP) is unclear. We aimed to obtain the prevalence of IVP in patients with LBP.
Vacuum phenomenon on radiographic studies is associated with a vertical instability and collapse, resulting in dynamic foraminal and lateral recess stenosis that should be treated surgically.
The ICD-9 category used for this condition is dependent upon the site. 722.4 is the correct code for degenerative disease of the cervical intervertebral disc. 722.51 is the correct diagnosis code for thoracic degenerative disc disease.
Degenerative disc disease by itself is not recognized as a listed disability by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Why? For one reason, the pain caused by disc degeneration is usually intermittent, and often goes away after a few months of conservative treatment.
Vacuum phenomenon of the sacroiliac joint (SJVP) is often observed in clinical practice. Its occurrence suggests that the joint is mobile but the actual mobility of the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is quite small [7].
Surgical therapy is still an acceptable method for the treatment of vacuum disc phenomenon and accumulation of gas within the spinal canal.
Vacuum disc phenomenon at multiple lumbar spinal levels with nitrogen bubbles (arrows) leaking into the spinal fluid. Intervertebral osteochondrosis can also occur secondarily as a consequence of direct trauma or in association with metabolic disease, i.e., pseudogout, or both.
Conclusions: The present results suggested that vacuum phenomenon was related to lower back pain in the morning, lower back pain when standing up or rolling over, and lower back pain was influenced by changes in the weather.
The main difference between Degenerative Disc Disease and Degenerative Joint Disease is that the conditions occur in slightly different parts of the spine. DDD affects discs directly, while DJD affects the cartilage at the ends of your vertebrae.
However, degenerative disc disease and osteoarthritis are different conditions and can occur separately: one can have degenerative discs without any facet osteoarthritis; or one can have facet osteoarthritis without degenerative discs.
ICD-10 code M51. 36 for Other intervertebral disc degeneration, lumbar region is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Dorsopathies .
Surgical therapy is still an acceptable method for the treatment of vacuum disc phenomenon and accumulation of gas within the spinal canal.

Most cases of intravertebral vacuum phenomena are of a benign nature. Moreover, intravertebral vacuum phenomena occur extremely rarely in patients with spinal infection. Such phenomena are also found in patients with multiple myeloma.
Usually, they are seen within the intervertebral discs, the bones and within different joints, but can also be seen in other usually adjacent locations due to migration.
Physiological vacuum phenomena can occur and are quite frequently seen in the intervertebral disc within the scope of aging, or in any joint where distractive forces or a wide range of movement are involved including the glenohumeral, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, sacroiliac, hip, knee, ankle, wrist or temporomandibular joints 3.
There are no specific clinical symptoms unless they are associated with rare specific complications e.g. pneumatic nerve root compression.
Vacuum phenomena can be physiological or within the scope of pathological processes.
