Abstract

The disc internal disruption syndrome is not well known to us, but the following hypothesis is widely accepted in clinical practice. The disc internal disruption syndrome may develop intractable back pain with aggrevated of pain, loss of spinal motion with any physical exercise, leg pain, loss of energy, marked weight loss, and profound depression. The patient with this syndrome will be found to have normal plain roentgenograms, myelograms, CT scans, results of blood examination and neurologic findings. For these reasons, this syndrome was frequently diagnosed by abnormal discographic findings. We had experience with two cases of disc internal disruption syndrome with clinical, roentgenographic and discographic evaluations. Thus We present these cases with a brief review of the concerned literature.

추간판 내부 파열 증후군은 심한 요통, 하족부 동통, 에너지 소실, 체중감소, 그리고 심한 우울증을 동반하며 척추 단순 촬영, 척수강 조영술, 전산화 단층 촬영, 혈액 검사, 그리고 신경학적 검사에서 이상소견을 발견할 수 없고 추간원판 조영술 상에서만 이상소견 및 동통의 증가로 진단이 가능한 증후군으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 요통을 주소로 내원한 환자들 중 2례에서 추간판 내부 파열 증후군으로 진단되어 수술적 치료 후 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
