Resumen

La historia naturai de la hernia discal lumbar tratada de manera conservadora no está totalmente aclarada. Con los nuevos métodos de diagnóstico, tomografía computerizada (TC) y diagnóstico por imagen (RM), la desaparición espontánea de la hernia discal, tanto lumbar corno cervical, ha quedado patente, pero los mecanismos fisiopatológicos que la producen no han sido pienamente definidos. El autor hace un estudio retros-pectivo de las diversas teorías recogidas en la literatura para explicar dicho fenómeno, aportando su propia experiencia.

Palabras Clave:
Desaparición espontánea

Summary

The natural history of lumbar disc hernation in conservatively trated patientes is not entirely clear. The spontaneous resolution in several cases of lumbar and cervical disc herniations has been well documented by computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (RM), but the mechanism of regression remains unknow. The author performed a retrospective analysis of the theories reported in the literature and presents his experience with conservative therapy of herniated nucleus pulposus.
