Abstract
|
|
|
|
Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common cause of sciatica. Several cases of clinical improvement in patients with spontaneous resorption of LDH have been reported. However, it is uncommon for this spontaneous resorption of LDH to manifest as an abrupt improvement of symptoms. Here, we report a case of rapid symptom improvement due to spontaneous resorption of LDH. Furthermore, we review the available literature to critically evaluate the possibility of spontaneous LDH resorption and consequent symptom improvement within the context of previous research.
