METHOD FOR DIAGNOSTICS OF CERVICAL SPINE DISCAL HERNIA LOCALIZATION AND SIZE

摘要

The method for diagnostics of cervical spine discal hernia localization and size consists in performens the direct transdermal of intervertebral from anterior-lateral access on a neck with simultaneous visualization of vertebral canal structures, sleeves of radicular nerves and also vertebral arteryin its canal. The segment-by-segment image is obtained and fixed in the monitor screen and parameters of vertebral canal (VC) and fibrous disk are determined. The central hernia is diagnosed in the case of posterior-anterior VC size decrease and unchanged symmetry and sizes of radicular sleeves. Theparamesial hernia is diagnosed in the case of asymmetry of radicular sleeves and visualizations of the lateral VC deformation. The posterior-lateral hernia is diagnosed in the case of asymmetry of radicular sleeves, caused by the deformation of one of them on the side of the hernia outpouching at the practically unchanged VC sizes. The hernia outpouching size is measured from the most distal hernia point to the conditional line, drew on the unchanged disk contour.
