Can Cervical Disc Herniations REDUCE in Size?
YES ☑️
These MRIs show a C6/7 Disc extrusion in 2023 that has decreased in size over 2 years to only a disc bulge.
This 31 YO patient developed R arm pain and parasthesia into the index and middle finger in 2023.
Symptoms reduced within the year but were re-aggravated in the last few months, hence 2nd MRI.
Although the 2023 image shows the disc indenting the cord there is no cord signal abnormality (i.e. no overt spinal cord damage).
Take home messages
1️⃣ Even with a large extrusion like this, in the abscence of a myelopathy or a radiculopathy with motor loss or uncontrollable pain there is no immediate indication for surgery ☝️
2️⃣ With good rehab, reassurance and monitoring of symptoms patients can be guided conservatively to manage symptoms while letting their body reabsorb the extruded disc material 👍
3️⃣ If symptoms regress a neurosurgical opinion is warranted
