Positional variability in redundant lumbar nerve-root syndrome.

C M Rigsby, C Virapongse, C Duncan

    Surgical Neurology
    |June 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Redundant lumbar nerve roots can occur with lumbar canal stenosis. Myelography showed these nerve roots changing position with spinal movement, aiding diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Spinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Lumbar canal stenosis is a common condition causing spinal nerve compression.
    • Redundant nerve roots are an uncommon finding in spinal stenosis.

    Observation:

    • A case study detailing redundant lumbar nerve roots in association with lumbar canal stenosis.
    • Myelography revealed dynamic changes in nerve root redundancy based on spinal position.

    Findings:

    • Proximal redundant nerve roots disappeared during flexion and extension.
    • Distal redundancy developed with spinal movement, suggesting a dynamic obstruction.

    Implications:

    • Understanding dynamic nerve root behavior is crucial for diagnosing lumbar canal stenosis.
    • This case highlights the importance of positional myelography in identifying subtle spinal pathologies.
