Unexpected Pain: Thoracolumbar Disc Herniation and Its Neuralgic Shadows

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Clinicians should consider thoracolumbar neuroforaminal discopathy in patients with atypical inguinal or abdominal pain, especially when common causes are excluded. MRI is crucial for accurate diagnosis. Temporary relief from nerve blocks may suggest spinal pathology. Surgical intervention, such as discectomy, can provide definitive treatment and effectively resolve referred pain.
