  • Title: Multiple disc herniations in a type II diabetic patient: case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Piccirilli M, Tarantino R, Anichini G, Delfini R.
    Journal: J Neurosurg Sci; 2008 Sep; 52(3):83-5. PubMed ID: 18636053.
    Abstract:
    Disc herniation is a common pathology associated with physical trauma or degenerative diseases. The authors present the case of a patient with 8 disc herniations without known risk factors or other associated pathologies except for a long story of type II diabetes. Basing on studies reported in literature, it can be assumed that diabetes may be the reason of multiple disc herniations in this case.
