Introduction: the aim of this study was to compare radiologically the effect of the disc on Root thicknesses in patients with acute disc herniation.
Methods: It was performed by measuring the same level of Root thickness in lumbar MRI images of patients presenting with acute disc herniation symptoms.
Findings: Lumbar MRI images of 95 patients were compared radiologically. It was statistically determined that the thickness of the nerve root on the side exposed to the compression of acute disc herniation increased compared to the other nerve root thickness at the same level.
Results: This study found statistically significant increase in the diameter of the affected nerve root in acute lumbar disc herniation. Especially in multi-level disc herniations, it may be useful to measure the nerve root thickness in determining the level that causes the actual clinic. |
