AIM We aimed to investigate the importance of early diagnosis and proper management of paradoxical herniation based on the data of 13 patients who had 14 occurrences of paradoxical herniation. MATERIAL AND METHODS The characteristics and the effectiveness of treatments of 13 patients with paradoxical herniation were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS Paradoxical herniation occur...

A 21-year-old woman presented with cervical myelopathy due to nontraumatic cervical disc herniation associated with cervical canal stenosis. The patient underwent removal of the herniated disc and anterior fusion with an autogenous iliac crest bone graft. After surgery, the patient showed satisfactory improvement. Cases of cervical disc herniation in our center and reported cases without cervic...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to predict the relationship between the symptomatic disc herniation level and the osteophyte level or decreased disc height in patients with cervical disc herniation. METHODS Between January 2011 and December 2012, 69 patients with an osteophyte of the cervical spine underwent surgery at a single center due to soft cervical disc herniation. Data including s...

We present a case of an intradural arachnoid cyst that was successfully diagnosed via ultrasonography. It is challenging to distinguish between spinal cysts and cord herniations on preoperative computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Additionally, these diseases have been reported coexist. Therefore, definitive diagnosis not provided until intraoperative findings sufficiently...

Low back pain is common during pregnancy. However, the prevalence of symtomatic lumbar disc herniation is rare, and cauda equina syndrome due to disc herniation during pregnancy is even rarer. We report a rare case of lumbar disc herniation causing cauda equina syndrome during third trimester of pregnancy which successfully treated by endoscopic discectomy. This case shows that endoscopic disce...

The term muscle herniation represents focal muscular protrusions through an acquired or congenital fascial defect. The anterior tibialis muscle is the most common site of herniation. Dynamic ultrasonography has become an important tool in dermatology for diagnosing suspected muscle herniation because it is a non-invasive, highly accurate, readily available and cost-effective imaging technique. ...

To explore the effect of PRECEDE-PROCEED model (the health professional’s ability to apply theories behavior) in education for young and middle-aged patients with lumbar disc herniation. Ninety herniation admitted our hospital from January 2020 October 2022 were selected divided into control group (n=45) observation according random number table. The received routine Chinese medicine education....

BACKGROUND Previous studies mostly did not separate between symptomatic disc herniation combined with osteochondrosis/spondylosis of the lumbar spine and symptomatic disc herniation in radiographically normal intervertebral spaces. This may at least in part explain the differences in the observed risk patterns. AIMS To investigate the possible aetiological relevance of physical and psychosoci...

Backround: The English literature contains very few reports on disc herniation at upper thoracic levels. This report presents a patient with T1-2 disc herniation who underwent successful surgery. Case Presentation: A 47-year-old female presented that the right T1 root was compressed by foraminal disc herniation at the T1-2 level. Conclusion: The anterior approach is an easy and appropriate meth...

background: intervertebral disc herniation is a major cause of low back pain. several treatment methods are available for lumbar disc herniation including chemonucleolysis, open surgery, nucleoplasty, laser disc decompression, and intradiscal electrothermal therapy. the high prevalence of lumbar disc herniation necessitates a minimally invasive yet effective treatment method. in this study, we ...
