Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Although there are publishings about the natural course of lumbar disc herniation, the natural course of this disease has not been proved literally. Spontaneous regression, which can be seen in natural course of lumbar disc hernias, takes place in literature frequently and draws attention in recent years. In clinical studies submitted in literature, it is identified that spontaneous regression between percentages 50-70% has been seen. The general opinion is that this percentage is valid mostly for the transligamentous discs. There is no certain agreement about the whole mechanism in question. Besides, the clinical studies to determine the prognostic factors is not enough. In this article, two lumbar disc hernia case showing spontaneous regression will be submitted accompanied with the literature, its mechanism and prognostic factors will be evaluated. Keywords: Lumbar vertebrae, hernia, spontaneous regression.
