Fig 5. A and B, The C6–7 disk before undergoing the ablation procedure because of a mostly lateral left intraforaminal herniation (A) with the associated mild central protrusion shown in a sagittal MR image (B).
C and D, MR imaging follow-up at 2 months shows hypo-T1, hyper-T2 modifications of the adjacent vertebral bodies and evidence of an inflammatory condition.
E, Partial reduction of the herniation is observed at the 2-month follow-up. The patient is completely asymptomatic despite only partial reduction of the disk herniation (see text for discussion).
