  • Title: Spontaneous resolution of discal cyst around L5 nerve root: case report and review of literature.
    Author: Prasad G, Kabir SM, Saifuddin A, Casey AT.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2011 Dec; 25(6):761-3. PubMed ID: 21501056.
    Abstract:
    The treatment of discal cysts is controversial, with different surgical options described in the literature. We present an interesting case of spontaneous resolution of a symptomatic discal cyst. Based on our case report, we recommend non-operative management in the first instance and an up-to-date MRI scan before contemplating surgery.
