Abstract
The lumbar disc herniation in the elderly has been said to be relatively rare, compared with the younger. Lower activity of the lumbar spine and lower liquidity of the nucleus pulposus of them are given for the reason.
On the other hand, in most of these cases of lumbar disc herniation in the elderly, the less spondylotic changes has been said to be seen and the height of lumbar disc to be kept in proportion to their age.
Our report shows the lumbar spondylotic changes as a phenomenon of aging in the cases of sixty or over of lumbar disc herniation.
