Simultaneous large intervertebral disc herniations at L4/5 and L5/S1 occurred in a young man after trauma. Clinical symptoms may not always reflect the severity of disc herniations in adolescents.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery
  • Adolescent Medicine

Background:

  • Intervertebral disc prolapse is uncommon in adolescents.
  • Traumatic injuries can affect spinal structures.

Observation:

  • A 19-year-old male experienced a deceleration trauma.
  • This resulted in simultaneous large herniations at L4/5 and L5/S1 levels.

Findings:

  • The case highlights a rare instance of two-level disc prolapse in a young adult.
  • Etiology is discussed in relation to current literature.

Implications:

  • Clinical presentation of disc herniation in young individuals may not correlate with the extent of the pathology.
  • This underscores the importance of thorough diagnostic evaluation in adolescent spinal injuries.
