Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical and CT characteristics of extreme lateral lumbar disc herniations and improve the diagnosis. Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical and CT manifestations in 15 patients with extreme lateral lumbar disc herniations proved by operation was done. Results Extreme lateral lumbar disc herniation at L4/5 level is more common. Intraforaminal lumbar disc herniations combined with extraforaminal herniation were seen in most cases. The clinical findings often presented lumbar bi-root compression syndromes. Conclusion The clinical presentation combined with CT image is the key to the correct diagnosis.
