Coming soonHerniated lumbar disc is a musculoskeletal and neurological condition characterized by the displacement of intervertebral disc material—specifically the inner nucleus pulposus—beyond the confines of the annulus fibrosus in the lower spinal column.
This displacement most commonly affects the L4–L5 and L5–S1 segments, typically occurring in adults aged 30 to 50 years due to degenerative changes or biomechanical stress.
Pathophysiologically, the extruded tissue causes mechanical compression and localized chemical inflammation of adjacent lumbar or sacral nerve roots.
Clinical manifestations range from axial low back pain to sharp radicular leg pain, sensory disturbances, lower-extremity motor deficits, and, in severe cases, cauda equina compression.
