Abstract
Vascular complications of lumbar disc surgery are rare (about 0,04% of discectomies) but very severe. Great variations of the anatomical lesions and of their clinical aspects may be observed. These lesions are often unrecognised during the operation and they are sometimes identified several years after the injury. The treatment is mainly surgical but percutaneous endovascular treatment has been recently performed successfully in several patients.
