A test increasing intrathecal pressure which may produce pain in the cervical spine or back if an intraspinal tumor or a herniated disc is present. The pain may radiate in a dermatome distribution. To perform the Vasalva test, the patient is asked to hold his breath and bear down as if he were moving his bowels.  2, record 1, English, - Valsalva%20test

Manœuvre augmentant la pression intra-abdominale. On demande au patient de retenir son souffle et de forcer comme pour aller à la selle, ce qui entraîne une douleur dans la région cervicale ou lombaire en présence d'une affection intrarachidienne (tumeur, hernie discale).  2, record 1, French, - man%26oelig%3Buvre%20de%20Valsalva

A maneuver used to detect intrathecal or extrathecal pathology(herniated disc), or pathologic pressure on the theca(wrapping of the cord) : the patient, lying supine on the examining table, raises his extended legs to a position about two inches from the table. This maneuver stretches the iliopsoas muscle and anterior abdominal muscles, and increases intrathecal pressure. The test is positive if the patient cannot hold the position, cannot lift his legs at all, or experiences pain as he attempts the maneuver.  2, record 2, English, - Milgram%20test

The herniated disc may extend above and below the disc level. This is most conspicuous in subligamentous disc herniation, where the disc tissue typically extends upward and looks like a hockey stick on sagittal images, while a herniated disc extruding both cranially and caudally looks like a mushroom.  1, record 3, English, - subligamentous%20disc%20herniation

Fig. 2 : hernie discale sous-ligamentaire. La dégénérescence va continuer avec ensuite une compression de la racine par une hernie sous-ligamentaire (lombo-radiculalgie). Puis, le ligament dorsal pourra être rompu, entraînant une diminution de la composante douloureuse lombaire [...]  1, record 3, French, - hernie%20discale%20sous%2Dligamentaire

The most common type of back surgery is the removal of a herniated disc, which is compressing-or pinching-a nerve. Technically, the technique is called "decompression surgery".  1, record 4, English, - decompression%20surgery

The inherent advantages of a number of instrumentation systems include immediate stabilization of the spine, which permits more rapid mobilization of the patient; correction of deformities; and maintenance and reconstruction of the spine after decompressive surgery.  2, record 4, English, - decompression%20surgery

Laser surgery for a herniated disc [where] a thin hollow needle... is inserted into the nucleus of the disc. A strand of optical fibre is inserted through the needle. Then a few bursts of laser energy are sent through and a tiny bit of disc material-which is mostly water-is vaporized. This causes the pressure within the nucleus to drop and a vacuum is created.... The herniated portion of the disc is sucked away from the nerve it is pinching... but only by a fraction of a millimeter.  1, record 5, English, - percutaneous%20laser%20disc%20decompression
