Spontaneous Regression of Lumbar Disc Herniation: Report of Two Cases
Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2006, Vol 23, Issue 4
Abstract
Spontaneous disc regression is described in lumbar, thoracic, cervical regions and also in various clinical situations. Although, spontaneous regression of lumbar disc herniation is a well defined clinical situation, the exact mechanism has not been adequately clarified yet. Currently , there are some suggested hypotheses. In this study, two cases with the complaint of lumbar radiculopathy and spontaneous regression of the disc herniation during their follow-up period, relevant with their clinical improvement and along with the radiological documentation of their situation, are presented. Possibility of the spontaneous regression of the lumbar discs and amelioration in some neurological symptoms with conservative therapy should be taken into account while giving a decision for operation on a patient with lumbar disc herniation.
