Figure 1. In a normal vertebra, the spinal canal and the nerve root canals have ample space for passage of the spinal cord and nerves. In spinal stenosis, bone spurs, enlarged facet joints and a bulging disc constrict the nerve root canals causing compression and entrapment of the spinal ner...
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing or stricture of the lower part of the spinal canal that results in neurogenic claudication. Symptoms begin with progressive degenerative changes and compression, although the severity is not necessarily associated with the degree of compression seen on imaging studies. ...
Degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis: an evidence-based clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis Background context The objective of the North American Spine Society (NASS) evidence-based clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of degenerati.....
Back surgeryis rarely necessary to treat back pain and has a poor track record of success when done for treating back pain. It is mostly used to correct severe spinal stenosis or a herniated disk that hasn't had effective treatment by other means. Generally, other treatments are tried first....
The evidence-based clinical guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis by the North American Spine Society (NASS) provides evidence-based recommendations to address key clinical questions surrounding the diagnosis and treatment of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. The...
we concentrated on the keywords: “lower back pain”, “lumbar spine stenosis”, “diagnostic”, “rehabilitation”, “neurosurgery”, “spine”, and “elderly”. Therefore, this article aims to review the presentation, diagnosis, and management of lower back pain associated with spinal stenosis....
The effectiveness of computed tomography was improved when the cross-sectional area of the dural sac was measured. We suggest that a narrow dural sac, demonstrated by myelography or by computed tomography, reliably indicates central spinal stenosis. 展开 ...
Lumbar radiculopathy due to herniated disk, osteophyte, facet hypertrophy, or neuroforaminal narrowing Spinal stenosis Cauda equina syndrome Back pain due to systemic disease affecting the spine Serious and emergent (requires specific and often rapid treatment) Neoplasia (1) Multiple myeloma, metastatic ...
spondylosis can lead to spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the space that your spinal cord and key nerves run through. Depending on what part of your spine is affected, you might have pain or numbness in your shoulders or arms. If the damage is farther down, you may have pain or numbness ...
