Patients who present with a combination of back pain and neurological symptoms in the legs naturally prompt an initial search for pathology at the level of the lumbar spine, with lumbar disc prolapse being the most likely cause in patient un der 50. Upper motor neuron signs in the legs, however, indicate that the abnormality must be above L1 on the neural axis. We describe three adults (aged 28-40) with these symptoms who were subsequently found to have severe degenerative cervical disc pro lapse requiring prompt surgery. |
