The work presents the examination results of 104 patients with the symptoms of lumbosacral compressive radiculopathy. The intensity of pain syndrome at rest, in physical exertion and at night was assessed by visual analogue and verbal assessment scales. Magnetic resonance tomography was used to examine the condition of vertebral bodies, degenerative changes of invertebral discs and the size and location of invertebral disc extrusion. The results of the study has led to the conclusion that disc syndrome in combination with spinal hemangioma is accompanied in most cases by lower limb chronic venous insufficiency, urination disorders and has no direct influence on pain intensity
