Spontaneous regression of herniated nucleus pulposus.
Spontaneous regression of herniated nucleus pulposus has not been previously documented. Reported here are 11 patients in whom there was unequivocal regression or disappearance of a herniated lumbar disk on follow-up CT study. Two patients with herniated disks were without symptoms. In the nine patients with symptoms, those attributed to the original herniation disappeared or were diminished in...
متن کاملEpidural corticosteroid injections for sciatica due to herniated nucleus pulposus.
BACKGROUND Although epidural corticosteroid injections are commonly used for sciatica, their efficacy has not been established. METHODS In a randomized, double-blind trial, we administered up to three epidural injections of methylprednisolone acetate (80 mg in 8 ml of isotonic saline) or isotonic saline (1 ml) to 158 patients with sciatica due to a herniated nucleus pulposus. All patients had...
متن کاملClinical Efficacy of Selective Focal Ablation by Navigable Percutaneous Disc Decompression Device in Patients With Cervical Herniated Nucleus Pulposus
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety following percutaneous disc decompression, using navigable disc decompression device for cervical herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP). METHODS Twenty subjects diagnosed with cervical HNP and refractory to conservative management were enrolled for the study. The herniated discs were decompressed under fluoroscopic guidance, using radiofrequen...
متن کاملPlasma radio-frequency-based diskectomy for treatment of cervical herniated nucleus pulposus: feasibility, safety, and preliminary clinical results.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Several techniques, including chymopapain, mechanical aspiration, laser-based disk decompression, and endoscopic keyhole surgery, have been proposed as minimally invasive alternatives to fusion for treating cervical disk herniation, though none has gained wide acceptance. The purpose of this study was to assess feasibility, safety, and preliminary clinical results of perc...
متن کاملAnatomic position of a herniated nucleus pulposus predicts the outcome of lumbar discectomy.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the anatomic position of a lumbar disc herniation has any significant effect on the clinical outcome of lumbar discectomy. Between January 1988 and March 1993, 80 patients with simple disc herniations underwent lumbar discectomy for herniated nucleus pulposus. We reviewed preoperative computed tomography scans after discography and magnetic res...
