Conclusions:Besides S1 nerve root also L5 nerve root compression must be considered in a painless hypertrophy of the lower leg. The affected muscles in our case showed a typically L5 distribution including the soleus muscle which can be partially innervated by the L5 nerve. A thorough examination...
Far-out syndrome (FOS) is caused by L5 nerve root entrapment at the L5-S1 extraforaminal area surrounded by the sacral alar and the transverse process. Here, we report a case with right L5 radiculopathy caused by L4-5 lumbar canal stenosis (LCS) and FOS. A 57-year-old man suffered fr...
The direct blockade of the nerve root by local anesthetics enables a profound anesthetic effect, with the efficacy contingent upon the extent of the block. Therefore, the SA group had a significantly greater level of satisfaction with the anesthesia than the LA group. The fluctuation of blood ...
CT scan of the lumbar spine revealed that L4–S1 vertebrae were fused through the titanium mesh (Fig. 4c, d). No sign of reoccurrence was noticed in the lumbar spine. Discussion The current case highlighted a rare case of LCH in the L5 vertebra with nerve root compression which was ...

The results indicate that a form of stenosis of the spinal canal plays an important role in bilateral nerve root compression at L4-L5, and to a lesser extent in unilateral nerve root compression at L4-L5. It does not appear to play a role in L5-S1 nerve root compression (stenosis of ...
Following plain radiographs, computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and selective nerve root block, an osteophyte bridging the L5 and S1 vertebral bodies in the ventral side was identified compressing the L5 nerve root. On account of resistance to conservative therapy and the delicate ...
His imaging did not demonstrate any lesion causing compression of the left L5 nerve root as expected. He was found to have a left healing L5 pedicle fracture and ipsilateral chronic L5 pars interarticularis fracture. He was also found to have an ipsilateral minor left L5-S1 disk desiccation....
