Complete Resorption of Large Cervical Disc Protrusion Compressing Spinal Cord

Abstract

In this report, we describe a case of 32-year-old woman who experienced spontaneous resolution of a large herniated disc with cord compression at C5-6. While the need for a surgical procedure is commonly accepted in case of symptomatic myelopathy, the medical management of cases with no or mild symptomatic lesion may be debated [1]. The following manuscript describes a case of spontaneous regression of herniated cervical disc and suggests that, even in patient with acute cervical disc herniation accompanied with cervical myelopathy, non-surgical, conservative treatment could be an option.
