Roundtable Discussion – Multidisciplinary Approach

[Italian Language with English CC/Subtitles]

The case study presented involves a 50-year-old woman experiencing sudden, intense lumbar spine pain, radiating to her lower limb and causing lameness. Initially treated conservatively with anti-inflammatories and rest, an MRI reveals discopathy at L4-L5 and L5-S1, with a median hernia and foraminal engagement. Despite improvements in pain through steroid therapies and ozone therapy infiltrations, her functional deficits persist. A neurological examination later uncovers significant issues, including a gait disorder and urinary changes. A subsequent MRI reveals widespread demyelinating disease, prompting a shift in diagnosis and treatment approach. This case exemplifies the importance of comprehensive clinical evaluation and the potential for coexisting pathologies.
