Case Description: A 28-year-old female presented with myeloradiculopathy attributed to a C6-C7 cervical disc. She opted for conservative management and fully recovered neurologically 3 months later. The follow-up MR study at 3 months showed marked reduction of the disc herniation, whereas 6 months demonstrated near-complete regression. Conclusion: A 28-year-old female who originally presented with a C6-C7 disc herniation and myeloradiculopathy. Six months later, she experienced full spontaneous neurological recovery without surgery and the magnetic resonance-documented near-complete C6-C7 disc regression.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/d7be852d-d6da-491e-b1cb-a64e2c43c68d/featured/hero-1781558179730.png","publishDate":"2025-11-21T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_1052_2025","categories":["Spine","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/14084/SNI-16-498.pdf"}
