  • Title: Two-level intervertebral disc herniation in an adolescent.
    Author: Schindler OS, Fairbank JC.
    Journal: Br J Clin Pract; 1996; 50(3):171-3. PubMed ID: 8733340.
    Abstract:
    A two-level intervertebral disc prolapse is a rare circumstance in adolescents. We describe the case of a 19-year-old man who suffered a deceleration traum and developed simultaneous large intervertebral disc herniations at L4/5 and L5/S1. The aetiology is discussed and, in accordance with the current literature, it is pointed out that clinical findings due to intervertebral disc herniations in young people do not necessarily correspond with the extent of the disease.
