- Abstract
We describe two unusual surgical cases who presented with extraforaminal lumbar disc herniation that occurred at two adjacent vertebral levels simultaneously and unilaterally. Magnetic resonance imaging and selective nerve root infiltration followed by radiculography helped to outline the herniated disc material. Lateral fenestration and microsurgical foraminal widening of the affected vertebral levels allowed a complete and safe relief of the compressed nerves.
