“…With the exception of the rare cases of anterior disc protrusion with associated dysphagia [8,13,[15][16][17] or posterior protrusion with slight [22] or evident spinal cord compression necessitating a surgical procedure [8,13,16,20], intervertebral disc calcification is a benign and selflimiting disorder, which resolves with bed rest, analgesics, muscle-relaxing and anti-inflammatory medication without any need for invasive surgical procedures [2,16,17,[22][23][24].…”

“…Pain is less frequent, if not absent, in the case of multiple localisations, particularly in the thoracic and lumbar spine. Symptom resolution is fast (2-3 weeks) [8,13,16,17,21], except in rare cases of patients with medullary compression [8] in whom, due to compression radiculopathy resistant to conservative therapy, a surgical procedure is sometimes necessary [5,8,13,20,24]. In the case of anterior herniation, there may be dysphagia due more to perioesophageal inflammatory swelling than to direct oesophageal compression by the displaced disc [4,8,[14][15][16].…”
