    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Lumbar spinal and lateral recess stenosis presents with characteristic pain and paresthetic symptoms.
    • Symptoms are exacerbated by standing/walking and relieved by rest.
    • Neurologic examination often reveals normal findings with a negative straight leg-raising test.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the diagnostic and therapeutic approach for lumbar spinal and lateral recess stenosis.
    • To highlight the efficacy of surgical decompression.

    Main Methods:

    • Diagnosis confirmed via high-resolution CT scan.
    • Myelography used if conservative treatment fails to assess neural compression.
    • Surgical decompression involves laminectomy and partial facetectomy.
