A case that showed very rapid regression in 25 days is presented, which is a well known and frequently reported phenomenon, however its exact mechanism is still unclear.

Spontaneous regression of a herniated cervical disc in a patient with myelopathy. Case report.

This is the first case of MR-documented regression of a cervical disc herniation in a patient with myelopathy, and the extruded disc fragment was found to have resolved on follow-up MR imaging after 28 months, despite the fact that the patient had undergone no specific treatment.

Whether or not regression of herniated disk is a frequent occurrence in patients who recover with conservative therapy should be investigated by more frequent use of follow-up CT scans.

It is considered that an extruded or sequestrated disc has a potential to be resorbed by phagocytes and the occurrence rate of inflammatory response and the length of the period from onset to operation.

The findings suggest that lumbar disk herniation may be primarily a medical (nonsurgical) disease and that MR imaging could play an important role in management of and research into the disorder.

The Natural History of Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Extrusions Treated Nonoperatively

No patients had perithecal or perineural fibrosis, 1 patient had a progression of stenosis, and all patients had disc desiccation at the level of disc herniation with contiguous levels being normally hydrated, as well as a decrease in neural impingement.

It is concluded that the regression of HNP in MR images might have been due more to resorption than to dehydration.
