Abstract :
The herniated disc is a frequent pathology felt
as disabling by the patient, with a significant socioprofessional impact. The management of this pathology -
apart from emergency situations - remains variable from
one practitioner to another. 90% of these radicular pains
respond favorably to medical treatment, without having
to resort to surgery. Spontaneous regression of the
herniated disc is a phenomenon described in the
literature, more frequent in the lumbar region than in
the cervical and dorsal regions. Inflammatory mediators
are at the origin of this regression. The larger the hernia
and the more it comes into contact with the epidural
space, the greater the chance of spontaneous regression.
In this work, we report the observation of 5 patients
followed at the Hassan II Hospital of Fez, known to have
a herniated disc confirmed on imaging. All our patients
were put under medical treatment, and their evolution
was marked by a regression of the hernia. We will
analyze the results of our series in comparison with the
data of the literature
