Abstract

ABSTRACT
Although the spontaneous resolution of herniated nucleus pulposus is a well known phe¬nomenon in lumbar disc herniations, it is rarely encountered in the cervical region. The spontaneous resolution of a herniated cervical disc in a woman is reported to describe a rare occurrence of spontaneous regression of a cervical herniated nucleus pulposus and to discuss its mechanism. A woman with a large and fragment herniated cervical disc refused to undergo operation and was followed-up for 1,5 months. In control magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine revealed a complete regression of the herni¬ated disc material. Her symtoms were also alleviated. In large and fragment cervical disc herniations without severe myelopathy symptoms, potential for spontaneous regression should be considered.
