Abstract:
The differential-diagnostic and methodological difficulties in demonstrating rare traumatic lesions of the lumbar intervertebral discs are described, in which transvertebral herniation of the nucleus pulposus through the compressed vertebral body along the fracture lines take place. The diagnosis could only be established by transdural lumbar discography. The neuroradiological findings and the validity of lumbar discography in comparison to the other investigations of the lumbar spine with help of contrast material are discussed.
