dc.description.abstractBackground: The herniated disc is a displacement of disc material outside the limits of the intervertebral space, excluding movements of the disc from one location to another within the intervertebral space, which generates discomfort in the neck and upper extremities. Various publications have shown that magnetic resonance imaging is the most appropriate imaging method for diagnosing this pathology due to its high specificity and sensitivity. Objective: To determine the incidence of herniated disc in the cervical spine diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging in patients who come to the José Carrasco Arteaga IESS Hospital during the period May - October 2019. Methodology: A retro-prospective descriptive study was carried out, in which data was collected from each Cervical Column Magnetic Resonance study corresponding to patients who present this pathology in the Imaging area of the José Carrasco Arteaga Hospital during the period of May to October 2019. For the data collection, a form was applied that collects the variables of this investigation. The information obtained was processed using the SPSS 23. V Program, Excel 2013, and the analysis was performed using descriptive statistics with the use of frequencies, percentages, and measures of central tendency (quantitative variables). The results are presented in simple and double entry tables. Results: Of the 321 patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine, 72.89% presented the lesion of which 53% were women, the age range with the highest index was from 50 to 59 in 30.34% of cases . 52.99% of the patients came for presenting pain at the cervical level. In relation to the occupation variable, 34.19% carried out office work. Regarding the type of hernia, 92.42% presented a disc protrusion and the most affected disc space was C5-C6 with 59.34% of patients. Conclusion: The incidence of cervical disc herniation was more frequent in women with 53.42%, the age range of 50-59 years represented 30.34% and the occupation related to office work obtained 34.4%. Disc protrusion was present in 92.42% of cases. 29.03% who attended due to cervical pain presented the lesion at the C5-C6 level.
