ABSTRACT
Lumbar disc herniation is the most common diagnosis
among the degenerative abnormalities of spine (affecting 3 to 56 % of the
population), and is the principal cause of spinal surgery among the adult
population. Disc herniation occurs when the outer fibers of inter vertebral disc
called annulus fibrosus is injured, and soft material known as nucleus pulposus
ruptures out of its enclosed space. It is not a onetime phenomenon, rather it
is a sequence of changes in the disc, which ultimately leads to it’s prolapse.
Herniation of lumar disc can be central, paramedian or lateral and the symptoms
varies accordingly.It is often asoociated with neurological symptoms, altered
sensation and weakness in the muscles innervated by compressed nerve roots.
Serious neurological symptoms are an indication for urgent surgery to
decompress the nerve roots. Factors which will increase the risk of
disc herniation includes aging, lifestyle choices, poor posture etc which will
increase the intra discal pressure. Diagnosis focuses on presenting signs and
symptoms, physical examination and investigations like X – ray and MRI etc.
