It is well recognized that symptoms of lumbar disc herniation often improve with conservative management. It is less well understood that the disc herniation resolves over time.
The authors present several cases demonstrating the natural history of resolution of lumbar disc herniation. All cases also experienced symptomatic improvement of their radicular pain.
These findings provide radiological evidence of the pathophysiology behind symptom resolution with conservative management of lumbar disc herniation and provide support for conservative management of lumbar disc herniation. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24873.
众所周知,腰椎间盘突出症的症状通常通过保守治疗会有所改善。而对于椎间盘突出症会随着时间推移而自行消退这一点,人们了解得较少。
作者展示了几例病例,证明了腰椎间盘突出症自行消退的自然病程。所有病例的神经根性疼痛症状也都有改善。
这些发现为腰椎间盘突出症保守治疗后症状缓解背后的病理生理学提供了影像学证据,并为腰椎间盘突出症的保守治疗提供了支持。https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24873
