| Abstract [eng] |
Lumbar spinal stenosis remains one of the most frequently encountered clinical important degenerative spinal disorders in the ageing population. Spinal stenosis is a narrowing or stricture of the spinal canal. Cauda equina and nerve root compression are noted in many asymptomatic individuals. The spinal degenerative process associated with ageing leads to pathoanatomical and pathophysiological changes with occasional clinical consequences. With progressive degenerative changes and compression, spinal stenosis may become symptomatic, although the severity of the symptoms is not necessarily associated with the magnitude of the compression seen on imaging studies. A thorough understanding of the etiology, pathologic features and a correlation between the symptoms and the precise location of the thecal sac and nerve root are very important in evaluating the imaging studies and planning appropriate treatment. |
