The analysis of 6 observations with the clinical picture of a sudden stopping of mono- and biradicular function permits to stand out the form of radicular insult. It should not be mixed with famous description of ischemic neuritides which essentially present the clinical picture of the extremity tissue ischemia rather than the nerve trunk. The basic features of radicular insult are as follows: the suddenness and manifestation of the motor disturbance in myotoma, disturbance of sensation or paresthesia in dermatoma, euphylline- dependence, primary susceptibility of the root L to the pathologic process. The localization is in the compression zone or from a distance.
