Abstract:
A descriptive cross sectional study was implemented in 34 patients with the spinal lumbar disc hernia in the neurological department of Bach Mai Hospital during 1/1999-12/2000. The rate of male/female was 1.83/1, the youngest patients was 29 and oldest patients was 73. The results have shown that syndrome of spinal lumbar pain occurred in 79.41% of patients, the radiculoneurogical syndrome accompanying the kinetic disorder found in 97.16% of patients, sensation disorders was in 91.18%, reflex disorder was in 88.25%, nutrition disorder was in 58.82% of patients. There was correspondence between clinical feature and images of magnetic resonance in disc hernia with lesions of 1 or 2 of neurological radixes in the same disc layer and between the level of spinal canal stenosid and grade of disc hernia. There was no correspondence between the clinical features and images of magnetic resonance in the lesion of 2 neurological radixes in the same side or more than neurological radixes
