Abstract

Double crush root injury in the lumbar spine is a very rare condition. A 36-year-old female patient presented to our clinic with complaints of severe low back and right leg pain. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine revealed a paramedian disc herniation at the L4-5 level and an extruded far-lateral disc herniation at the L5-S1 level. Both disc herniations were compressing right L5 root simultaneously. Microdiscectomies were performed at the L4-5 and L5-S1 levels. Postoperatively, she had complete resolution of her pain complaints.
