Recurrent lumbar disc herniation (contemporary diagnostics)
Keywords:
lumbar degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, recurrences, diagnosisAbstract
The diagnosis of the cause of recurrence back pain and sciatica after surgical remove of the lumbar disc herniation by clinic and neurologic examination is complicated. The discography can evaluate significance of the disc condition, but can’t demonstrate the change of spinal canal and its content. Magnetic resonance is an optimal method of diagnosis, but expensive for investigation. Computed tomography is considered as valuable method. There are some causes, which create difficulties on present showing of CT for distinguishing true recurrence of herniation from isolated epidural scar, for these purposes, we are elaborating differential characteristics.
