We have treated 15 patients with massive lumbar disc herniations non-operatively. Repeat MR scanning after a mean 24 months (5 to 56) showed a dramatic resolution of the herniation in 14 patients. No patient developed a cauda equina syndrome. We suggest that this condition may be more benign than previously thought.
我们对15例巨大腰椎间盘突出症患者进行了非手术治疗。平均24个月（5至56个月）后复查磁共振成像（MR）扫描显示，14例患者的椎间盘突出显著消退。无患者发生马尾综合征。我们认为，这种情况可能比之前认为的更为良性。
