Abstract

Introduction : Condoliase injection for lumbar disc herniation is less invasive than surgical treatment and has been widely used in recent years. We encountered a case in which a herniated disc worsened after treatment with condoliase (Hernicore®) injection. Thereafter discectomy was performed. We also report the pathology of the disc removed immediately after condoliase injection.
