The spontaneous resorption of lumbar disk herniations (LDHs) has been widely reported. However, the majority of these reports analyze the resorption of LDHs that were displaced backwards or downwards. There have been few reports on the spontaneous resorption of upwardly displaced L4/5 LDH that has caused femoral nerve symptoms.
