[A variant of medullary-type paralysing ischias in spinal osteochondrosis]

The authors report a case of low spine vascular insufficiency. The clinical neurological syndrome resulted from compression of the accessory radiculomedullary artery by a dystrophic disk in a female patient with lumbar osteochondrosis. NMR tomography registered specific changes in the intervertebral disks and dural space which is decisive for differential diagnosis with similar symptoms of other affections.
