Radiculopathy associated with disc herniation.
HAS THERE BEEN PROGRESS IN THE PHYSIOPATHOLOGY OF DISC HERNIATION ASSOCIATED RADICULOPATHY? Since 1934, when a link was demonstrated between disc herniation and sciatica, it has been accepted that compression of the nerve root by disc herniation explained the sciatica. Surgical treatment therefore became standard when medical treatment failed. It now seems that ‘‘chemical’’ factors have a centr...
متن کاملPhysical examination for lumbar radiculopathy due to disc herniation in patients with low-back pain.
BACKGROUND Low-back pain with leg pain (sciatica) may be caused by a herniated intervertebral disc exerting pressure on the nerve root. Most patients will respond to conservative treatment, but in carefully selected patients, surgical discectomy may provide faster relief of symptoms. Primary care clinicians use patient history and physical examination to evaluate the likelihood of disc herniati...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor imaging of radiculopathy in patients with lumbar disc herniation: preliminary results.
AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the time course of changes in parameters of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) such as fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in patients with symptomatic lumbar disc herniation. We also investigated the correlation between the severity of neurological symptoms and these parameters. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 13 patients...
متن کامل[Minimally invasive surgery in treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation].
Surgical treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is one of the most common neurosurgical procedures. Besides conventional surgical techniques, in the last more than 30 years, different methods with minimal damage to neuromuscular spine structures are being developed and introduced, all having the purpose of reducing postoperative back pain. The advantages of the minimally invasive sp...
متن کاملCorrelation between intervertebral disc degeneration, paraspinal muscle atrophy, and lumbar facet joints degeneration in patients with lumbar disc herniation
BACKGROUND To assess the correlation between lumbar disc degeneration (LDD), multifidus muscle atrophy (LMA), and facet joints degeneration in patients with L4-L5 lumbar disc herniation (LDH). METHODS Sixty patients with L4-L5 LDH diagnosed by a 1.5 T MRI scanner were enrolled in the study group and another 60 patients with non-specific back pain were enrolled in the control group. LDD, LMA, ...
