Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Calcification: A Case
Report in Juniper in Novel Approaches in Drug Designing & Development (NAPDD)
Intervertebral disc calcification is an uncommon cause of spinal pain and really rare in lumbar disc levels. The certain etiology still remains uncertain. Most of cases are asymptomatic and are diagnosed incidentally in routine scanning or during evaluation of non-specific clinical complaints. A 63-year-old male presented with waist and both legs pain. There was no definite history of trauma or infection. Imaging of the lumbar spine showed calcification of the intervertebral disc at L1-2 level. The patient was kept on medical therapy. The complaints showed near-complete resolution on 3-month follow-up.
