    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Surgical decompression effectively treated neurogenic intermittent claudication caused by lumbar spinal stenosis in three patients. This highlights the importance of surgical intervention for severe cases of lumbar spondylosis and discopathy.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Spinal Disorders

    Background:

    • Discopathy and lumbar spondylosis are common conditions affecting the spine.
    • Neurogenic intermittent claudication can be a debilitating symptom of spinal stenosis.
    • Surgical intervention is a treatment option for severe spinal conditions.

    Observation:

    • Over a decade, 1114 patients underwent surgery for discopathy or lumbar spondylosis.
    • Three patients presented with intermittent claudication as their primary symptom.
    • Lumbar spinal canal narrowing was identified as the cause in these three patients.

    Findings:

    • Two cases of spinal stenosis were due to degenerative changes and herniated discs.
    • One case resulted from scar tissue after a prior laminectomy.

  • Surgical decompression of cauda equina nerve roots resolved claudication pain in all three patients.

    • Implications:

    • Surgical decompression is a viable treatment for neurogenic intermittent claudication.
    • Understanding the causes of spinal stenosis is crucial for effective treatment.
    • This study contributes to the discussion on factors causing neurogenic intermittent claudication.
