Spontaneously disappearing lumbar disc protrusion.

Shungu Ushewokunze¹, Naeem Abbas, Ronan Dardis, Ian Killeen.

Abstract

Spontaneous disappearance of a herniated lumbar disc is known to occur. This case study describes a 45-year-old patient whose symptoms of lumbar radiculopathy resolved and follow-up imaging showed complete disappearance of the disc prolapse. This phenomenon strengthens the role of conservative treatment in the management of lumbar disc protrusions.
