Lateral disk herniation into the lumbar intervertebral foramen: differential diagnosis.
Lateral disk herniation into the intervertebral foramen if not recognized may result in a negative surgical exploration. The condition is readily recognized by computed tomography (CT), which demonstrates a soft-tissue mass in the intervertebral foramen, focal protrusion of the posterolateral margin of the disk into the foramen, absence of dural sac deformity, and occasionally the presence of c...
متن کاملTreatment of lumbar intervertebral disc protrusions by manipulation.

There were 73 recurrences (14.1%) at intervals ranging from two months to 12 years. Forty-seven cases did not respond to manipulation. These results indicate that manipulation of the spine can be effective treatment for lumbar disc protr...

Trauma, sometimes mild, seems to have played a significant role in this series. This fact coupled with pronounced numbness and disagreeable paraesthesiae should suggest the diagnosis with thoracic spinal lesions. Ar...
