Computerised tomography in lumbar stenosis. A preliminary report

F Postacchini, G Pezzeri, A Montanaro

    The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British Volume
    |February 1, 1980

    Summary

    Computerised tomography (CT) accurately assesses lumbar spinal stenosis, identifying developmental or combined causes. CT is a valuable tool aiding myelography in evaluating vertebral canal narrowing.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Lumbar spinal stenosis is a condition characterized by narrowing of the spinal canal.
    • Clinical and myelographic findings can suggest lumbar stenosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of computerised tomography (CT) in assessing lumbar spinal canal stenosis.
    • To determine the nature and extent of stenosis in asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals.

    Main Methods:

    • Cross-sectional studies were conducted using computerised tomography (CT).
    • Subjects included asymptomatic individuals and patients with clinical/myelographic findings suggestive of lumbar stenosis.

    Main Results:

    • Stenosis was predominantly developmental or combined in nature.

  • CT provided accurate assessment of the type, degree, and extent of vertebral canal narrowing.

    • Conclusions:

    • Computerised tomography (CT) is a valuable adjunct to myelography for evaluating lumbar spinal stenosis.
    • CT enables precise characterization of vertebral canal narrowing.
