This research aims to highlight the clinical and imaging characteristics of anterior lumbar disc herniations and their misdiagnosis.
Identified six cases of anterior and anterolateral disc herniations through CT and MRI imaging.
Analyzed imaging findings with clinical presentations focusing on abdominal and flank pain.
Investigated initial misdiagnosis such as retroperitoneal neoplasm and inflammatory processes.
Imaging indicated anterior disc extrusion with marked inflammatory changes in several cases.
Initial misdiagnoses included retroperitoneal neoplasms and inflammatory processes in some patients.
Recognizing specific imaging patterns can guide the accurate diagnosis and management of these cases.
