Cochrane review
• Prolapsed lumbar discs – < 5% of all low-back
  problems.
• Ninety percent of acute attacks of sciatica
  settle with non-surgical management.
• Surgical options are usually considered for
  more rapid relief in the minority of patients
  whose recovery is unacceptably slow.

  The effects of surgical treatments for individuals
             with 'slipped' lumbar discs
                Gibson JA, Waddell G
Saal JA, Saal JS, Herzog RJ: The natural history of lumbar
intervertebral disc extrusions treated non-operatively. Spine 15:
683–686, 1990

• Patients with large compressive lesions are
  also generally believed to be more ideally
  suited to surgical intervention. These same
  patients, however, are those most likely to
  experience spontaneous regression of their
  lesions and they have a high rate of clinical
  improvement with noninvasive treatments.

Notas do Editor

  1. Presence of free fragments of extruded disc material is usually considered as a severe form of PID and it is considered as a strong indication for surgery. How ever when patient is not willing for surgery, a phobia is created into the mind of the patient regarding possible paraplagia (cuada-equina syndrome).
  2. There are three special situations. One : migration intra-dural. This is always associated with cauda-equina syndrome. Only 60 cases have been reported in the world literature.Second: Migration posterior to the dural sac. It cannot be diagnosed even on MRI and usually it gives a picture of Spinal tumour.A third situation is also commonly seen – Roof disc. It is central extrusion but still contained by the posterior longitudinal ligament. Here symptoms are different and there may not be much root pain but with profound neurological deficit.
  3. Inui, Yoshihiro et al in Spine. 29(21):2365-2369, November 1, 2004.Fas-Ligand Expression on Nucleus Pulposus Begins in Developing Embryo. Expressed there views as - The present results demonstrated that Fasligand expression is not detected in the notochord, but at the time of intervertebral disc formation, Fasligand expression develops in the nucleus pulposus. These results indicate that the immune privilege of the intervertebral disc may begin in the very early stages of disc formation. Moreover, Fasligand may play an important role in the formation of the intervertebral disc. There are three proposed hypothesis for absorption. The first proposed hypothesis is the retraction back into the intervertebral space. If there is bulging or herniation into the annulus fibrosis, this situation can be encountered theoretically. Second hypothesis is based on the concept of dehydration ( shrinkage with the loss of the water content of the herniated disc material), slowly The recent studies asserted that the spontaneous regression, to be a result of enzymatic degradation and phagocytosis against the extruded disc tissue in the epidural space with inflammatory reaction and neovacularization . There are some pathological and experimental studies supporting this situation. There is also possibility that all 3 of these mechanisms take part in the spontaneous regression and disappearing of the disc material altogether. In journal of Neurological Sciences Volume 23, Number 4, Page(s) 339-343, 2006, Mehmet ŞENOĞLU, KasımZafer YÜKSEL, and Mürvet YÜKSEL reported two cases of spontaneous absorption.It has been made clear in the world literature that the radicular pain from the compressed nerve root is primarily due to sensitization of the nerve root as a result of inflammation induced by antigen – antibody reaction. This is the reason for a quick response to cortisone therapy in acute prolapse. This is the reason why fragments mainly composed of nucleolus pulposus get absorbed early. The annulus is absorbed by granulation formation.Lumbar Disk Herniation:Correlation of Histologic Findings with Marrow Signal Intensity Changes in Vertebral GebhardSchmid, MDEndplates at MR Imaging- GebhardSchmid et al published in “Radiology Vol 231 No.2 - Findings in the current study show that avulsion-type disk herniation with hyaline cartilage material occurs frequently (in nearly 50% of patients). The amount of cartilage may be as much as 50% of the extruded material, and bone fragments were observed in five patients. Our results confirm that there is cartilaginous material in a high proportion of extruded disk herniations. The amount of cartilage in the herniation material is usually less than 10%, but it can be as much as 50%. The association of the amount of cartilaginous material with endplate abnormalities supports the theory that avulsion of the vertebral endplate is one source of disk herniation. The good correlation of marrow signal intensity changes in the middle third of the endplate with cartilaginous material in the disk herniation further supports the histopathologic findings by Tanaka et al (22) that most avulsions occur in the inner or transitional zone of the annulus end plate interface.
