Lumbosacral Nerve Root Enhancement with Disk Herniation on Contrast-Enhanced MR AJNR 17:1619-1625, Itoh,R., 1996 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Ten of the 32 patients had nerve root enhancement and all belonged to the group with abrupt and severe nerve root compression with no residual space for the root between the herniated disc and the pedicle in the lateral recess.Tight compression of the root without mobility was seen in the four patients with nerve root enhancement who were treated surgically.Nerve root enhancement may indicate the existence of abrupt and severe compression of the nerve root as well as the presence of severe adhesion of the herniated disc and the nerve root.This finding does not necessarily determine the type of subsequent treatment.
