ABSTRACT

Lateral extreme disc herniations represent between 0.7 and 11.7% of all lumbar herniations classified as intraforaminal or extraforaminal, with respect to the foramen, described by Abdullah in 1974; the L4/L5 level is commonly affected. The dorsal root ganglion compression is the cause of the pain intensity; pain irradiation does not always occur in the dermatomal segment corresponding to the image, reported in more than 60% in the immediate root proximal to the extreme lateral lumbar disc herniation. Extreme lateral lumbar disc herniation.
