ABSTRACT |
Nerve-root anomalies are very uncommon, and there symptoms and signs are nearly similar with those of disc herniation.
So we can misdiagnois them for intervertebral disc herniation. The negative Lasegue' sign is the only distinct feature of the nerve root anomalies. The authors report a case of Nerve-Root Anomaly associated with disc herniation in lumbar 4-5 interspace, which was diagnosed preoperatively in myelogram and confirmed surgically. |
