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.

متن کاملLumbar disc herniation with contralateral radiculopathy: do we neglect the epidural fat?

However, LDH causing contralateral radiculopathy are sometimes encountered by pain physicians. There have been tremendous developments in the treatment options for LDH; the situation of LDH causing contralateral radiculo...
متن کاملCervical Radiculopathy Due to Disc Herniation with Adjacent Facet Hypertrophy: Case Report
We report a rare case of cervical radiculopathy associated with facet hypertrophy and disc herniation. The patient was a 38-year-old woman with sudden-onset left arm 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...
