Sumario:We report a case of a 39-year old male patient who presented to us with several months of lower back pain. Following clinical assessment, the patient underwent a magnetic resonance imaging exam, which after using advanced imaging protocols showed a ventrolateral disc hernation toward the psoas muscle. Based upon the findings in the magnetic resonance and the electromyoneurographic examination, the decision was made to treat the patient conservatively. Coronal planes are useful for discerning changes of various origins not usually seen on the sagital and axial planes. If needed, additional advanced protocol is available for increased specificity and diagnostic accuracy.
