“…Trauma (mostly sport-related or self-reported injury) is commonly considered as the most likely cause. As many as, 30-60% of children and adolescents with symptomatic LDH have a history of trauma before the onset of pain [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. This is in contrast to adult patients who usually do not have any traumatic experiences before the symptoms occur.…”

“…Back pain is not all marked in adolescent patients. One distinctive feature is that up to 90% of patients have a positive straight-leg raising test [5], [14]. However, adolescents are less often seen with neurological symptoms such as numbness and weakness [12], [15], [16].…”

BACKGROUND: Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) in adolescents is relatively a rare condition among those cases presented with low back pain. Trauma and genetics are the most common predisposing factors. Furthermore, the clinical presentations differ from those of the adults. Back pain is not all marked in adolescent patients. AIM: This study was subjected to discuss the etiology, diagnosis and treatment modalities, and the variable outcomes for both medical and surgical treatment of LDH in adolescents. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This prospective study was conducted on 20 patients (12 males, eight females) age range 10–19 years presenting with LDH, managed and treated conservatively and/or surgically in Neurosurgery Department at Kasr Al Ainy School of medicine, Cairo University in the period from October 2015 to September 2016 with 12-month follow-up period. RESULTS: In our study, 12 patients (60%) gave a positive family history, also nine cases (45%) had a history of back trauma before affection with LDH. All the cases (100%) were presented with sciatic pain while only half of them had low back pain, also two cases with motor deficit. After performing magnetic resonance imaging of lumbosacral spine, L5-S1 disc level was the most common level affected. All the patients were subjected to medical treatment which was effective in 40% of the cases and surgical treatment was the only curative method in 12 cases (60%). In this study, the outcome was excellent in 90% of cases where significant to complete relief of pain and significant improvement in the neurological deficits was achieved. CONCLUSION: Conservative treatment is less effective for adolescent LDH patients as compared with adults, even though it remains the fi rst-line treatment for adolescent LDH.

Low back pain has a great portion in military medicine, and its portion is growing 15,18,19) . Much time and money are spent diagnosing and treating soldiers with low back pain, which can remove soldiers from action.…”

Objective: Low back pain is common in South Korean soldiers, due to their arduous military training and physical activity. The aim of this study is to determine factors affecting the degree of low back pain in young male soldiers including objective radiological findings. Methods: From November 2014 to March 2015, 262 patients with recently developed symptoms were enrolled. The patients completed a questionnaire. Questionnaire and information from MRI, X-ray and computed tomography images were reviewed. The VAS-LBP, VAS-RP, and ODI were evaluated to assessment the degree of symptoms. All patients were males in their 10 s and 20 s (range 18-28 years). Results: All patients were males in their 20 s (median age 21 years, range 18-28 years). Military rank included private soldiers (n=29, 12.3%), private first-class (n=93, 39.4%), corporals (n=63, 26.7%), sergeants (n=38, 16.1%), and executive members over officers (n=13, 5.5%). Symptoms, other risk factors, and radiologic findings were compared. We could not reach statistically significant result for any risk factors for degenerative lumbar disc disorder. Military rank was negatively related with the degree of pain, although there was no difference of severity of degenerative lumbar disc disorder between each rank. Conclusion: Military rank was a considerable social factor associate with the degree of low back pain in young male soldiers. Careful evaluation and treatment with systematic management of soldiers with low back pain seems prudent.

“…Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is recorded in a large number of cases of lumbar nerve root compression including those involving young patients, 6 , 7 , 8 and fibrous and scar tissue around nerve roots may cause continuous neuropathic pain. Moreover, adhesions formed after spinal surgery may also result in chronic inflammation and nerve root irritation.…”

PurposePercutaneous epidural neuroplasty (PEN) is a minimally invasive treatment. The efficacy of PEN has been relatively well investigated; however, the relationship between the clinical effectiveness of PEN and the severity of spinal canal stenosis by disc material has not yet been established. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of PEN according to the dural sac cross-sectional area in single level disc disease.Materials and MethodsThis study included 363 patients with back pain from single level disc disease with and without radiculopathy. Patients were categorized into groups according to spinal canal compromise by disc material: Category 1, less or more than 50%; and Category 2, three subgroups with lesser than a third, between a third and two thirds, and more than two thirds. Clinical outcomes were assessed according to the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score for back pain and leg pain and Odom's criteria at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after treatment.ResultsThe demographic data showed no difference between groups according to spinal canal compromise by disc material except age (older age correlated with more spinal canal compromise). The dural sac cross-sectional area did not correlate with the VAS scores for back and leg pain after PEN in single level disc disease in Groups 1 and 2. Odom's criteria after PEN were also not different according to dural sac cross-sectional area by disc material.ConclusionPEN is an effective procedure in treating single level lumbar disc herniation without affecting dural sac cross-sectional area.
