Approaches to the low back pain and lumbar disc herniation during pregnancy

15476

Low back pain is a common situation of pregnancy and has been reported in about 56% of women during gestation. By contrast, lumbar disc displacement is exceedingly rare. In the patients with lumbar disc displacement and root compression diagnosis can be made with a spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. If there is a progressive neurologic deficit or cauda equina syndrome surgery can be performed safely at any stage of gestation to avoid permanent sequela. The literature demonstrates that there is no contraindication to MRI, administration of epidural or general anesthesia or surgical intervention during pregnancy.
