title: [Lumbar intervertebral disk prolapses in adolescents].
abstract: Six adolescent patients aged 13 to 17 years with lumbar disc prolapse all had a positive Lasègue's test. Clinical symptoms were varied, vertebral symptoms were more pronounced. In all cases myelographic findings corresponded with those at operation. The neurological deficits mostly disappeared after operation. In contrast to adults disc herniation in adolescents was recognized only after some time since lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion is rare and often shows atypical symptoms in teen-aged patients.
