CT diagnosis of lumbosacral conjoined nerve roots. Findings in 19 cases
Abstract:
The authors report the observations derived from CT evaluation of 19 cases of lumbosacral conjoined nerve roots; 11 of these have been confirmed by lumbar myelography and/or at surgery. They conclude that CT without intrathecal metrizamide allows the recognition in most cases of the presence of conjoined nerve roots and to differentiate them from a herniated disk fragment; this is especially useful to avoid surgical damage of anomalous roots.
