L5 nerve root palsy is a complication that can occur after ALIF indirect decompression. It is thought to occur due to the dimensional change in the L5 foramen that can either compress or cause a stretch neuropr
Far-out syndrome refers to the compression and entrapment of the L5 nerve root in the extraforaminal area between the hypertrophied L5 transverse process and the sacral ala (Fig.1) [1]. This condition was first reported by Wiltse et al. in 1984 [2]. It is actually a type of low back...
Using the image intensifier, Nerve root injections can target individual nerve roots. These blocks can be diagnostic and therapeutic. They are ay case procedures and have few associated risks. Up to 50% of patients with leg pain resulting from nerve root impingement will have long-term benefit ...
E. The gorgeous and breathtaking Mapawa Nature Park, one of the successful stories of how people, livelihood, environment and tourism work well together. We were taken on a hay ride around the sprawling properties which include heavily forested mountains, with waterfalls and rivers buried in its...
Herein, we present a case of a 74 year-old female with diskogenic back pain and L5 radiculopathy found to have a duplicated L5 nerve root intraoperatively. Interestingly, the L5-S1 disk was found to be normal and unlikely to contribute to her presentation. She underwent L5-S1 laminectomy ...
L5 nerve root radiculopathy can develop as a rare complication of OLIF51. Neurosurgeons should be aware of this rare complication related to OLIF51.Yoshinori MakiNeurosurgery, Hikone Chuo Hospital, Hikone...
On radiological imaging, there was no osseous disruption and an intraspinal canal projectile was embedded in an organised infected complex, compressing onto the left-sided L5 traversing nerve root with resultant grade 4 motor power of the left Extensor Hallucis Longus (EHL). Under fluoroscopic ...
L5 spinal nerve axotomy: electrophysiological changes in axotomized L5 and adjacent intact L4 nociceptive dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in vivo in ratDjouhri, LGreen, T. PLawson, S. N
Contrast patterns of nerve roots were categorized into three types, which were: type 1: the presence of contrast along the nerve roots; type 2: the presence of contrast within the intravertebral foramen but not in the nerve root; and type 3: the...
