Lumbar disc herniation is very common, sometimes leading to disability of the patient, and in a significant number of cases can only be solved with surgery. This paper reports a case with a large symptomatic disc herniation, which suffered spontaneous regression, and no surgery was necessary. The case is documented on serial MRI, consistent with the clinical improvement of the patient.
