J. Neurosurg., 18/2. - 1961, 8°, pp.242-244, orig. self wrappers. Offprint! "The clinical entity of ruptured lumbar intervertebral disc was defined by Dandy in 1929. Mixter and Barr in their classical paper in 1934 described the full significance of herniated nucleus pulposus as a cause of pain in the back. Since that time there… have been reports of many patients operated upon for lumbar disc pro- trusions.3'5,6'10,11 The potential seriousness of herniated lumbar nucleus pulposus with occasional extradural compression of the cauda equina, paraplegia and block of the cerebral spinal fluid has been well documented.911 However, erosion of a fragment of disc through the dura mater has been mentioned only rarely. One case was described by Dandy in 1942 and 2 cases were reported by Paterson and Gray in 1952. A review of over 2500 surgical cases by O. W. Jones, Jr.4 revealed only 1 such lesion." Arthur Edward Lyons (1931-2023) neurosurgeon, historian, scholar, and ardent bibliophile.
