Pseudotumoral lateral and far lateral lumbar disc herniation - about a case report

ABSTRACT

Far lateral lumbar disk herniation [FLH] is a rare clinical and radiological entity. It can sometimes mimic other diagnosis such as tumor or radicular cyst. We report a case of a lumbar FLH with vertebral scalloping in a 48-year-old patient. The aim of this work is to insist on the utility of imaging modalities [Ct-scan and MRI] in positive and differential diagnosis of pseudotumoral FLH
