ABSTRACT

The degenerative vertebral disc process is considered as the origin of the degenerative disease and the disc hernia. This is a global health problem with a great repercussion on the biosocial and economic spheres. In Cuba, the aforementioned problem is ranked among the first diseases affecting the locomotor apparatus. An analytical transversal study was carried out at the «Amalia Simoni» Hospital. The study included forty cases with a clinical and imaging diagnosis which had been surgically operated for lumbar disk disease. In every case, the affected vertebral disc was removed with the objective of analyzing the performance of the degenerative changes in it. Age, gender and predominant disc pathology were related. The histopathological changes were identified. Besides, it was established the correspondence between the imaging diagnosis and the histopathological diagnosis. The age group where the disc disease prevailed was the group ranging from 31 to 40 years old, and the prevailing gender was male. The disc pathology, according to the imaging diagnosis, was disc hernia. The main histopathological changes were: decreased cell density, formation of cell groups, acidophilia loss of collagen, and pale-staining of the amorphous matrix. There was no correlation between the imaging diagnosis and the histopathological diagnosis in the cases which had been diagnosed with disc hernia.
