Erectile dysfunction (ED) has been previously reported in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy. After treatment, patients usually experience an improvement in sexual function. Herewith, we present a patient with cervical disc herniation at the C3-C4 and C5-C6 level with ED but without myelopathy. The patient underwent anterior microdiscectomy and fusion with cages. ED improved postoperatively. We propose that the presence of ED should be checked in patients with cervical disc herniation. Further studies are needed to clarify the incidence of ED in patients with cervical disc herniation.
先前已有报道称，脊髓型颈椎病患者存在勃起功能障碍（ED）。治疗后，患者的性功能通常会有所改善。在此，我们报告一例C3 - C4和C5 - C6水平颈椎间盘突出症伴勃起功能障碍但无脊髓病的患者。该患者接受了前路显微椎间盘切除术及椎间融合器融合术。术后勃起功能障碍有所改善。我们建议对颈椎间盘突出症患者检查是否存在勃起功能障碍。需要进一步研究以明确颈椎间盘突出症患者勃起功能障碍的发生率。
