Resumen

FIGUEREDO ACOSTA, Héctor. Spontaneous regression of the lumbar herniated disk in two women. MEDISAN [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.3  Epub 08-Jun-2022. ISSN 1029-3019.

The case reports of two women that had suffered from lumbar sciatic pain during several months are described, reason why they went to Dr. Joaquín Castillo Duany Teaching Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, where they were diagnosed lumbar herniated disk and received medical follow up in the Neurosurgery Service for more than a year. Before the negative of being surgically intervened, conservative and alternative therapeutic outlines were prescribed, as well as physiotherapy. In both patients spontaneous regression of the lumbar herniated disk was evidenced, which was confirmed by means of evolutionary studies of magnetic resonance. This correlation between the clinical improvement and the imaging recovery of the intervertebral disk doesn't always happen in the clinical course of these cases.

Palabras clave : herniated disk; intervertebral disk; low back pain; radiculopathy.
