Abstract
Cervical disc hernias are reviewed, their prevalence, pain, clinical diagnosis and further tests required to give the most appropriate treatment. The natural history of cervical disc herniation is benign, with a good response to conservative treatment. The surgical indication is conservative treatment failure and a primary or secondary motor neuron lesion. Surgery has good results with a low complications rate, there being no evidence that it gives better results than any of the available options.
Keywords:

Resumen
Se revisan las hernias de disco cervical, su prevalencia, el dolor, el diagnóstico clínico y las pruebas complementarias necesarias para realizar el tratamiento más adecuado. La historia natural de las hernias de disco cervicales es benigna, con una buena respuesta al tratamiento conservador. La indicación de cirugía es el fracaso tratamiento conservador y la lesión de primera o segunda motoneurona. La cirugía presenta buenos resultados con una escasa tasa de complicaciones, no existiendo una evidencia que demuestre mejores resultados con ninguna de las opciones disponibles.
