    Summary

    Lumbar disc prolapse in adolescents is rare and presents with varied symptoms, often delaying diagnosis. Surgical intervention can effectively resolve neurological deficits in these young patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Lumbar disc prolapse is uncommon in adolescents.
    • Diagnosis can be delayed due to atypical presentations.

    Observation:

    • Six adolescent patients (13-17 years) with lumbar disc prolapse were studied.
    • All presented with a positive Lasègue's test and pronounced vertebral symptoms.

    Findings:

    • Myelographic findings correlated with operative results.
    • Neurological deficits largely resolved post-surgery.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition and surgical treatment of adolescent lumbar disc prolapse are crucial.
    • Understanding atypical symptoms in adolescents can improve diagnostic timelines.
