“…Spontaneus regression of disc herniation without any surgical treatment has been reported to occur in the cervical region. Most such cases are confined to disc herniation that are associated with radiculopathy [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. We present a very rare case of spontaneous regression of cervical disc herniation in a patient with myelopathy, demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).…”

Introduction The aim of this work was to present a rare case of spontaneous regression of a herniated cervical disc in a patient with myelopathy. Case outline A 31-year-old women presented with two weeks' history of neck pain associated with numbness in her body and all four extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine showed a large posterior medial disc extrusion at the C5-C6 spinal segment, causing myelopathy. The patient refused discectomy that was recommended. She received symptomatic treatment in the form of analgesics, a muscle relaxant, and a hard cervical collar. A follow-up MRI of the cervical spine, performed after 11 months, revealed almost complete regression of disc herniation. The patient's symptoms subsided completely after one year. Conclusion In some cases of cervical disc herniation with myelopathy, especially in patients with mild neurological deficit, symptomatic therapy should be considered.

The data on the possibility of intervertebral disc herniation regress at terms from 3 to 12 months are presented. Immune response of the organism and the factor of peripheral fibrous ring neovascularization play an important role in the process of disc herniation resorption. Transligamentous and sequesteredherniations are resorbed better than the subligamentous ones. To intensify the intervertebral disc herniation resorption it is necessary to activate microcirculation of the injured spinal motion segment.
