Abstract
The CT [computed tomography] appearance of conjoined nerve roots in 5 patients is described, together with the similarity to a herniated nucleus pulposus and differentiation between the 2 using the blink mode. Patients should not have pain secondary to this anatomical variant, which may help distinguish if from a herniated disk clinically unless they occur at the same level.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
