  • Title: Preoperative diagnosis of conjoined roots anomaly with herniated lumbar disks.
    Author: Bouchard JM, Copty M, Langelier R.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1978 Oct; 10(4):229-31. PubMed ID: 725722.
    Abstract:
    Twelve cases of nerve root anomalies encountered during investigation for low back pain and sciatica are presented. Most of these patients had a herniated lumbar intervertebral disk and were operated upon with the preoperative knowledge of an associate nerve root malformation. Three patients were found to have a symptomatic nerve root malformation without disk herniation. These patients were conservatively treated. In all cases we found a constant myelographic sign that is described.
