The authors report a case of paralyzing disc herniation that caused atrophy of the sura muscles to the right, many years after the occurrence of two episodes of acute lumbar sciatic pain that was successfully treated conservatively. Diagnosis was formulated based exclusively on muscular insufficiency in the region affected and remote pathologic history.
