a woman presenting with severe right lower quadrant (rlq) abdominal pain is presented here. she was evaluated for all usual cause of such pain. laboratory tests and abdominal and pelvic sonography was normal. mri revealed l1-l2 disc herniation.

INTRODUCTION Disc herniation is a complex spinal disorder associated with disability and high healthcare cost. Lumbar disc herniation is strongly associated with disc degeneration. Candidate genes of the aggrecan metabolic pathway may associate with the severity of lumbar disc herniation. OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the association of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) of the candidate gen...

BACKGROUND Quantification of brain herniation on MRI and its immediate clinical implications are poorly described. OBJECTIVES Define the normal position of caudal fossa structures on brain MRIs in dogs and cats utilizing morphometry, compare this to dogs and cats with caudal transtentorial herniation (CTH), foramen magnum herniation (FMH) or both identified on MRI, and investigate association...

conclusions the intervention bundle prompted increased administration of psdivc and documentation. similar centres may benefit from an intervention to improve compliance. results sixty-four patients in group a underwent turbt prior to introduction of the intervention bundle. fifty-four patients had non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (nmibc), which would have been eligible for psdivc. fifteen (2...

lumbar disc herniation (ldh) is the most common cause of sciatica and only in about 10% of the affected patients, surgical intervention is necessary. the side of the patient (the side of most prominent clinical complaints) is usually consistent with the side of imaging (the side with most prominent disc herniation on imaging scans). in this case series, we presented our experience in four cases...

A herniated intervertebral disc is the most common type of soft tissue mass lesion within the lumbar spinal canal. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful tool for the assessment of patients with lower back pain and radiating pain, especially intervertebral disc herniation. MRI findings of intervertebral disc herniation are typical. However, from time to time, despite an apparently classic...

Right sided transdiaphragmatic liver herniation is a rare type of diaphragmatic hernia. Three such cases in adults are reported. A localized hepatic herniation (type 111) masquerading as pulmonary neoplasm was revealed in one, while in the other two cases liver herniation was accompanied by herniation of bowel (type XU). A history of trauma was present in all three patients with a latent period...

Objective: The efficacy of percutaneous laser disc decompression is still controversial due to inconsistencies between the studies. However, reason for this discrepancy may be having different success levels in low back pain and leg pain. In study, response both modalities was examined separately. Material Methods: Results 49 patients who underwent only 36 radicular were analyzed retrospectivel...

PURPOSE Small spinal canal dimensions play a role in symptomatic adult disc herniation, but its role in adolescent disc herniation has not been investigated with MRI. The goal of this study was to examine retrospectively if there is a correlation with dimensions of osseous spinal canal and need of discectomy in an adolescent population suffering from disc herniation. METHODS A retrospective r...

STUDY DESIGN A case report of nontraumatic acute complete paraplegia resulting from cervical disc herniation. OBJECTIVES To describe a rare case of nontraumatic paraplegia resulting from enlargement of a herniated disc in the cervical spine and to outline appropriate management of a patient with severe spinal cord compression secondary to disc herniation with developmental spinal canal stenos...
