Abstract
The effect of disease duration on the condition of cauda equina root circulation in 50 patients with lumbar intervertebral disk hernia has been studied. The prolonged disease history has been found to result in the increase of the blood flow values of the root compressed at rest (before compression) in patients with lumbar intervertebral disk hernia. It has been demonstrated, that the more disease duration, the less blood flow increase of the compressed root after decompression in the process of intervertebral disk hernia elimination. The blood flow values of the cauda equina roots adjacent to the zone of disk-radicular conflict do not correlate with the duration of pathological process.
