Lumbar Disc Herniation in Fourteen Years Old Girl

Öz

Lumbar disc herniation is a rare disease in children. Children and adolescents with symptomatic lumbar disc herniation have a history of trauma or sports injury before pain begins. There is no difference in the frequency of disc herniation between the sexes in children. The segmental placement of disc herniation in children is similar to that seen in adults. A girl aged 14 years presented to our clinic complaining of a one-year low back pain and pain was radiating to the right leg. There was a significant posterocentral disc protrusion at the L5-S1 level on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Complete symptomatic relief was achieved at the end of a course of conservative treatment.

Ondört Yaşındaki Kız Hastada Lumbar Disk Herniasyonu

Öz

Lomber disk hernisi çocuklarda nadir görülen bir hastalıktır. Çocuk ve adolesanlarda genellikle hikayelerinde ağrı başlangıcından önce travma ya da spor yaralanmaları öyküsü mevcuttur. Çocuklarda her iki cinsiyet arasında lomber disk hernisi sıklığı açısından fark saptanmamıştır. Segmental olarak disk herniasyonunun yeri açısından erişkin ve çocuklarda fark yoktur. Vakamızda 14 yaşında kız hasta bir yıldır olan bel ağrısı ve bacak ağrısı şikayetiyle kliniğimize başvurdu. Manyetik rezonans görüntülemede L5-S1 düzeyinde belirgin posterosantral disk protrüzyonu mevcuttu. Uygulanan konservatif tedavi sonrası ağrılarında belirgin azalma elde edilmiştir.
