[Is epidural injection treatment with hypertonic saline solution in intervertebral disk displacement useful? (The effect of NaCl solution on intervertebral disk tissue)].

The effect of sodium chloride solution on disc tissue was investigated in vitro. Tissue material was obtained from 19 discectomies. The specimens were incubated in aqua ad injectionem and in different sodium chloride solutions and weighted regularly during a maximum of 24 hours. Following the incubation periods the specimens were examined histologically. After one hour the surgical specimens showed a weight increase of 290% for aqua bidest., 170% for 0.9% NaCl and 100% for 5.85% NaCl and 10% NaCl. Disc tissue obtained from six autopsies was also examined under the same conditions. The weight increase in nucleus pulposus and anulus fibrosus tissue was less than in the disc tissue obtained from surgery. The weight increase in anulus fibrosus tissue was less than in nucleus pulposus tissue. In vitro incubation of disc tissue in a hypermolar sodium chloride solution always resulted in a weight increase. Successful therapy could not be explained by shrinkage of disc tissue treated with hypermolar sodium chloride.

[From sciatica to intervertebral disk displacement. On the history of a disease concept].

Since antiquity low back pain spreading down to the buttock and the leg with or without neurological symptoms has repeatedly been described by medical authorities. To extract well defined nosological entities out of the medley of "sciatica" was a demanding process within a labyrinth of often misleading clues. Although the herniated intervertebral disk was recognised about the middle of the 19th century the causal nexus between intervertebral disk displacement and sciatica was only demonstrated in the thirties of the 20th century. The critical appraisal of pathomorphological lesions in patients suffering from sciatica was, as it still is, a challenging task even for experienced physicians. Key texts and their authors recall the main steps towards our modern concept of lumbar intervertebral disk displacement to the readers mind.

[Extraligamentous lumbar intervertebral disk displacement].

The preoperative assessment of sciatica secondary to a herniated intervertebral disk has been radically changed over recent years due to the development of percutaneous treatment techniques which now offer an alternative to surgery. After recalling the terminology used for the position of a herniated lumbar disk in relation to the posterior common vertebral ligament (subligamentous or transligamentous hernia) and to describe whether or not the hernia is detached from the original disk (excluded or non-excluded hernia), the authors review the current state of the art of imaging for each type of herniated lumbar intervertebral disk.

[Expert assessment of "traumatic" lumbar intervertebral disk displacement].

A prolapse of a lumbar intervertebral disc as a consequence of trauma is rather often the subject of medical litigation. This paper shows the different aspects of federal and private insurance companies that insure accident consequences. Items hinting at a causal connection between trauma and prolapse are shown. A prolapse of a lumbar intervertebral disc can only very seldom be certified as being traumatic.
