Features of differential diagnosis and treatment of compression radiculopathy L3, L4 and femoral nerve neuropathy
https://doi.org/10.20340/vmi-rvz.2024.1.CASE.3
Abstract
The article discusses aspects of complex pathology – differential diagnosis of lesions of intervertebral discs of the lumbar spine and femoral nerve neuropathy. Assessment of patient complaints, careful collection of anamnesis, interpretation of clinical and neurological examination data, instrumental diagnostic data such as MRI, MSCT, and neurophysiological studies allows you to establish an accurate diagnosis and choose the most effective treatment method.
