Resumen

La hernia del disco intervertebral lumbar es una causa frecuente de radiculopatía en miembros inferiores y su tratamiento más efectivo sigue siendo objeto de controversia. Tanto el tratamiento quirúrgico como el conservador consiguen buenos resultados cuando se realiza una correcta selección del paciente. La desaparición espontánea de hernias de disco intervertebral es un hecho conocido con numerosas referencias en la bibliografía. Los autores presentamos el caso clínico de una paciente con radiculopatía secundaria a una hernia de disco lumbar diagnosticada con resonancia magnética y que se resolvió espontáneamente.

Summary

Lumbar disc herniation is a common cause of lower leg radiculopathy and the most effective methods of treatment remain in question. Both surgical and nonsurgical treatments may provide a successful outcome in appropriately selected patients. The spontaneous resolution of herniated lumbar discs is a well-established phenomenon. The authors present a case of spontaneous regression of a herniated lumbar nucleus pulpous in a patient with radiculopathy.
