Description

Spontaneous regressions of calcified thoracic disc herniations (TDH) have been rarely described. Since now, no previous papers hypothesized that radiological factors could be able to predict the evolution of the herniation. This study shows that the radiodensity of the herniated material in herniations with spontaneous resolution might differ from that of operated herniations.
