Abstract
We present a case of lateral herniation (intraforaminal herniation) which we have trouble in making diagnosis because there is no degenerative change on the responsible disc level. The patient is 47 years old female. April 20th 2003,she felt severe left hip pain and couldn't move. There was a tumor like mass which surround L3 root on MRI. As a result of operation, the tumor like mass turned out not to be tumor but to be lateral disc herniation. We thought it to be a tumor, because there was no degenerative change on L3/4 disc level, so discography and CT discography was not performed. We have second thought that we must perform discography and CT discography case by case.
