Abstract

Lumbar disc hernia (LDH) is a common cause of low back pain and radicular leg pain. It is well known that the majority
of LDH patients recover spontaneously. Since the advent of MRI, a spontaneous regression of fragment size of disc
hernia occurs, as well as mitigation of subjective difficulties and neurological disorders. Therefore, surgical treatment is
not always method of choice in this disease. Two cases of conservatively treated large disc extrusion which result in significant
reduction of difficulties, with simultaneous reduction in fragment size of hernia which is documented by MR.
