Introduction. 1  Schmorl nodes, classically known as intravertebral disc herniations, were first described by Schmorl in 1927 2  []. A 23-year-old, otherwise healthy Caucasian woman was admitted to a spine outpatient clinic with severe symptoms of acute localized back pain, which had appeared suddenly the previous night.

Schmorls node - What is schmorls nodes? Vertebral condition. They are protrusions of the cartilage of the intervertebral disc through the vertebral body endplate and into the adjacent vertebra. They are not uncommon, and do not always cause symptoms.

To date, there were some reports of symptomatic Schmorl nodes, however, only a minority of them presented cases of acute onset of back and neck pain associated with the lesion [,-].

1 doctor agreed: No need to worry: A schmorl's node is a protrusion of disc material through a weak area in the vertebra. They are very common (about 1/3 of population). They are usually asymptomatic, though occasionally if they develop acutely they can be a source of pain.

No: A schmorl's node is basically a weakness in the endplate of a vertebra through which disc material is displaced into the vertebral body. The term node is misleading and has nothing to do with cancer. Schmorl's nodes are very common, usually asymptomatic but can be a source of pain if they ...Read more.

Schmorl nodes represent displacement of intervertebral disc tissue into the vertebral body and have been considered as an asymptomatic incidental radiological finding on plain radiographs, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although uncommon, acute symptomatic Schmorl nodes causing severe back pain do occur.

Schmorl nodes, classically known as intravertebral disc herniations, were first described by Schmorl in 1927 []. Schmorl nodes represent a herniation or an extrusion of the intervertebral disc nuclear material through the vertebral body endplate, with displacement of this material into the adjacent vertebral body [].

Schmorl's: Schmorl's nodes are disk herniation into the vertebral bone and may suggest end plate weakness and the possibly of fracture or movement of the cage/bone graft into the bone after surgery. The best way to determine bone strength is through DEXA scan.
