    Abstract:
    The authors review eight cases of lumbar intervertebral disk herniation in adolescents aged less than 16 years, with a minimum follow-up treatment of 2 years during an 18-year period. All patients presented lower back and sciatic pain, antalgic scoliosis, and a positive Lasègue sign. Nerve compression signs were present in 25+ of the cases. Seventy-five percent of the cases underwent myelography and 25% underwent computerized axial tomography. Results were good in all cases.
